- III. How to Become a Distributor Site
-
- Excel Progs is looking for more bulletin boards and information
- services to serve as distributor sites. This works well for both
- parties: Excel Progs is able to send its software to a larger
- audience, and your service has more to advertise about. Your users
- know that the latest in Excel Progs utilities, songs, and games
- can be found first on your service.
-
- Excel Progs is accepting applications on the basis of "first come,
- first serve." There will be one distributor site per county. A
- "county" is described in this text as a place which holds a telephone
- connection to your service for the public (i.e., if you have a service
- in Knox County (Knoxville, TN) which has an Anderson County (Oak Ridge,
- TN) connect line open only to members, your site will be considered to
- be an Knox Co. site ONLY. If the line becomes public and no site has
- already appeared in Anderson Co., you will be considered to be a
- site for both counties.
-
- Excel Progs shall have the sole task of determining whether two or more
- services are considered "too close" to both become distribution sites.
-
- We are asking for services that have been up for at least a year,
- show promise of being up for much longer, and have potential for
- growth. If your service goes down for a small period of time you
- will retain your site number when you return; in cases of serious
- down-time the site number may be awarded to someone else. Thus, it
- is imperative that if your service goes down for a time greater
- than a month or if it is to go down permanently that you immediately
- contact Andrew Malek of Excel Progs.
-
- We are looking for "family" services. Note that this does not mean
- exclusively religious services, just those that don't cater
- exclusively to adult users. This also does not exclude services that
- responsibly have adult sections hidden to the general public.
-
- We are looking for public domain/shareware/freeware/post-cardware/
- ..etc services ONLY! If you are a pirate site or hold ANY pirate
- files, then we appreciate you not applying.
-
- Please note that the question "Are you PD/Shareware ONLY?" may be
- somewhat misleading. The question is there to verify that only
- bulletin boards with public domain/shareware/freeware software are
- allowed to become distribution sites. Some bulletin boards allow
- software to be purchased and downloaded online; thus, that software
- is purchased and not free, but is purchased legally and would not
- change an otherwise "YES" answer to "NO."
-
- Excel Progs is currently an organization, not an official business.
- In the event Excel Progs formally is established as a business, your
- distributor site numbers shall be transfered in the proper ways, if
- necessary.
-
- As a distributor site, you need to keep up with the newest Excel
- Progs products. We ask that you call Idaho Interactive BBS at least
- once every 3-6 months, and, if you wish, in the meantime, acquire
- all Excel Progs products at your convenience from sources such as
- CompuServe (C) and Internet FTP sites, where they are uploaded
- on a semi-regular basis (Feel free to call Idaho Interactive
- as often as you wish...the 3-6 months is only a suggestion for
- software acquisition). If you run Major BBS with Majornet, we
- ask that you take the official support forum (mentioned later in
- this file). We also ask all sites to mention that they are a support
- board in opening screens, bulletins, advertisements,..etc, if
- possible.
-
- Regarding Idaho Interactive BBS, you will receive an account
- and password regarding your formal confirmation (when you receive
- postal or e-mail regarding the confirmation). ALL Excel Progs files
- shall be on Idaho Interactive BBS in the file area EXCEPROG. Just
- type L F S EXCELPROGS to access the files. Type F S EXCEPROG to
- access the forum area. You may download individual files or download
- the entire batch as the EPALLx.ZIP files (all such downloads are
- free from time restrictions!) If for some unknown reason Idaho
- Interactive ceases to exist, Excel Progs will try all possible
- routes of establishing a new home board or new methods of
- distributing its files.
-
- To apply, simply print and fill out the form located near the end of
- this text and mail to the address specified. Or, fill it out
- electronically and send it via Internet electronic mail. Upon
- approval, you shall receive in the coming weeks your confirmation
- letter, number, and other information Excel Progs feels appropriate.
