BBS Update Program:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Most BBSs have standard procedures for acquiring new files. They
get them from other boards, new programs are uploaded by users,
etc. This is good because most authors cannot afford to mail
disks or upload files to thousands of BBSs. However, some BBSs
prefer to obtain programs directly from the authors. If you
would like to obtain programs directly from us, automatically,
then please help us to cover the cost.
If your BBS would like to receive automatic upgrades to any of
our products, directly from us, then please refer to the
information below. Due to the time and expense we are generally
unable to upload directly to a large number of Bulletin Board
Systems. However, we are able to mail updates on disk (in a
sealed envelope) to many BBS's.
If your BBS would like to receive automatic updates then please
take advantage of our BBS Update Program. Under this program you
can receive updates for an entire year for only $10 per program
(this helps to offset our costs).
To receive updates, simply send us a letter with the name and
address of your BBS, your mailing address, the name of the person
we may contact (preferably the SYSOP or CO-SYSOP), the program
(or programs) for which you would like to receive updates, and a
check or money order for $10 for each program (for countries
outside of North America please add an additional $10 per
program). Payment in U.S. funds drawn on a U.S. bank only,
please.
The BBS Update Program is available for the following product
(as of January, 1992):
METRIC-X - Metric-English-Metric Conversion Utility
(designated by the ICMP-MOC as an "accepted
metric conversion tool")
NOTE: All BBS's participating in our BBS Update Program will
automatically receive any NEW programs which we may release
while their BBS Update Program is in effect.
The BBS Update Program is only intended to help us cover our
expenses in those cases where a BBS desires to obtain the program
directly from us. If you have other standard ways to obtain
programs, then you may prefer not to use our BBS Update Program.
Please refer to DESCRIBE.DOC for our mailing address and phone
number. Thank you for your support!
