VENDOR.DOC file for SCRIPTURE
Revised 23 April 1990
The copying restrictions listed in this file apply to any
individual, organization, user group, or business that charges ANY fee
for the distribution of SCRIPTURE. SCRIPTURE and its associated files
are NOT in the public domain. All programs and data files are Copyright
1989,1990 by Gil Yoder, P.O. Box 307, Coalgate, OK, U.S.A. All rights
reserved except that limited distributions rights are granted as
outlined below.
The vendor standards are based on those established for vendor
associate members of the Association of Shareware Professionals (ASP).
ASP vendor members are granted permission to distribute SCRIPTURE as
long as they are in good standing. Other vendors are granted permission
to distribute SCRIPTURE, if they agree to the standards established by
ASP as summarized below.
You may distribute SCRIPTURE products on the following terms:
- SCRIPTURE, when listed in vendors' catalogs, advertisements,
brochures, mailers, etc. must be named "SCRIPTURE" and not some other
pseudonym like "Bible Study Program", or "Script". Use of any other
name than "SCRIPTURE" will constitute cause for revocation of vendor's
distribution rights.
- SCRIPTURE may NOT be sold as part of some other more inclusive package
without the express written permission of the author.
- SCRIPTURE must NOT be distributed with other Shareware or public
domain programs on the same floppy disk. However, SCRIPTURE may be
included in libraries sold on CD-ROM disks.
- Under no conditions will SCRIPTURE products be "rented" or leased to
others.
- Printed copies of the User Guide may not be distributed in any form
without a license from the author.
The SINGLE-USER Registration Fee for SCRIPTURE is $50.00 in U.S.
Funds. Shipping and Handling is included for domestic customers, and
is $5.00 for non-US customers. Details may be found within SCRIPT.DOC.

The following is a summary of ASP vendor standards. This summary
is just that, a summary, and is not to be taken as a statement of the
entire set of ASP standards.
Advertising:
All vendor advertisements and brochures must state that "Shareware
programs require separate payment to authors if found useful." This
statement must immediately follow the price or be tied to the price via
an asterisk.
Catalogs:
Vendors will attempt to educate users on the nature of Shareware.
The following points must be covered in any catalog of disks:
- The fee paid to the vendor is a copying and distribution charge and
does not cover the cost of the program itself.
- If the user finds a Shareware program to be of use, he/she is
expected to send the registration fee to the author.
- Registration entitles the user to various rights and benefits
(depending on the author). These range from the legal right to
continue using the software, to printed documentation and/or higher
levels of service.
Distribution:
- Vendors will respect the copyright and all distribution
restrictions made by individual authors, usually found in the file
VENDOR.DOC [this file] on the disk.
- Vendors will provide a written notice covering the three concepts
above with all Shareware programs shipped. If disks are pre-
packaged, the notice must be on a visible part of the package.
- Vendors will not change or delete ANY files supplied with the
program unless authorized by the author. Small additions designed
to assist the user may be added if the author does not specifically
prohibit such action.
- Vendors agree to stop distributing a program, including earlier
versions, if requested by the author.
The above is a SUMMARY of the ASP vendor standards. In order to
distribute SCRIPTURE you must agree to abide by these standards whether
you are an ASP member or not. If you are interested in becoming an
ASP-approved vendor, please contact:
Association of Shareware Professionals
Vendor Certification Committee
P.O. Box 5786
Bellevue, WA 98006
We strongly recommend that you consider becoming an ASP approved
vendor if you have not already done so. The ASP vendor member program
reduces the workload for both authors and vendors alike, and helps give
customers confidence that reasonable standards are met in the
distribution of Shareware products.

If you wish to receive future updates of SCRIPTURE, you must send
to the author a copy of your catalogue (or a note indicating where your
advertisements can be found) which includes a reference to SCRIPTURE.

Updates will be sent to organizations on a case-by-case basis.

SCRIPTURE is written and produced by Gil Yoder, a member of the
Association of Shareware Professionals (ASP). ASP wants to make sure
that the Shareware principle works for you. If you are unable to
resolve a Shareware-related problem with an ASP member by contacting the
member directly, ASP may be able to help. The ASP Ombudsman can help you
resolve a dispute or problem with an ASP member, but does not provide
technical support for members' products. Please write to the ASP
Ombudsman at P.O. Box 5786, Bellevue, WA 98006 or send a CompuServe
message via Easyplex to ASP Ombudsman 70007,3536.
