tions. Deviation from these terms requires prior written permission from

documentation files -- CANNOT be modified in any way and must be
distributed as a complete package, without exception. The
PACKING.LST text file contains a list of all files that are part

as the introductory text files or installation batch files used
by many shareware disk vendors, are acceptable.
o No price or other compensation may be charged for the InContext
package. A distribution cost may be charged for the cost of the
diskette, shipping and handling, as long as the total (per disk)

inclusive package, or included in any commercial software pack-
aging offer, or packaged with hardware, without a written agree-
ment from Rams' Island Software.

mination of this license.

ferable, assignable, saleable, or franchisable. Each vendor
wishing to distribute the package must independently satisfy the
terms of this limited distribution license.

ASP Associate Membership Information
------------------------------------
Rams' Island Software gives somewhat preferential treatment to disk
vendors who are ASP Associate Members. This is NOT because we wish to
force vendors to join ASP, and it seems appropriate to offer a few words
of explanation. We insist that any vendor carrying our products satisfy
certain criteria with respect to business practices. These include:
informing the customer about shareware, informing the customer about the
author registration fee, absence of "free software" claims, etc., and
other such matters of appropriate advertising, packaging, and labelling.
ASP Vendor Members agree to these practices as a condition of member-
ship, and are routinely monitored for compliance by ASP. Therefore,
neither the vendor nor Rams' Island Software has to incur any special
effort or expenses in order to convince us that the vendor satisfies our
criteria. Because this substantially reduces our effort, we send our
products to such vendors automatically, and give them permission to
distribute those products without contacting us.
If you would like information about ASP vendor guidelines, application
procedures, etc., please request a Vendor Application Package from:
