- METRIC-X, Version 1.10 - (continued) -
The METRIC-X package is defined as containing all the material listed
in the PACKING.LST text file. If any files listed in the PACKING.LST
text file, or the PACKING.LST file itself, are missing, then the
package is not complete and distribution is forbidden. Please contact
us to obtain a complete package suitable for distribution.
The METRIC-X package - including all related program files and
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 of the METRIC-X
package.
Small additions to the package, such as the introductory or
installation batch files used by many shareware disk vendors,
are acceptable.
No price or other compensation may be charged for the METRIC-X
package. A distribution fee may be charged for the cost of the
diskette, shipping and handling, as long as the total (per disk)
does not exceed US $ 8.00 in the U.S. and Canada, or US $ 12.00
internationally.

The METRIC-X package CANNOT be sold as part of some other inclusive

offer, without a written agreement from Orion Development Corporation.

Vendors (non-ASP Vendor Members) who wish to distribute the METRIC-X
package as part of a collection (such as PsL's MegaDisk set, or a

Others (non-ASP Members) must contact us in advance to ensure

inventory of old (out of date) disks. Only current versions may
be shipped as Disk-of-the-Month disks.
The PRINTED User's Guide may not be reproduced in whole or in part,
using any means, without the written permission of Orion Development
Corporation. In other words, any disk-based documentation may not be
distributed in PRINTED (hardcopy) form.
The METRIC-X package cannot be "rented" or "leased" to others.
You may not list any of our products in advertisements, catalogs, or
other literature which describes our products as "FREE SOFTWARE".
Shareware is "Try-Before-You-Buy" software, it is not free.
Orion Development Corporation prohibits the distribution of outdated
versions of the METRIC-X package, without written permission from
Orion Development Corporation. If the version you have is over twelve
(12) months old, please contact us to ensure that you have the most
current version. This version was released in January, 1992.

Vendor Update Program:
----------------------
Most non-ASP vendors have standard procedures for acquiring new files.
They get them from other vendors, BBSs, etc. Most authors cannot
afford to mail disks to hundreds (perhaps thousands) of vendors.
However, some vendors 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 you are NOT an ASP Approved Vendor (in good standing), but you
would still like to receive automatic updates directly from us, then
please take advantage of our Vendor 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 your name, company
name, mailing address, the name of the person we should contact (such
as your disk librarian), the program (or programs) for which you would
like to receive updates, and a check or money order for $10 for each
program (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 Vendor Update Program is available for the following products (as
of January, 1992):
METRIC-X Metric-English-Metric Conversion Utility
(designated by the ICMP-MOC as an "accepted
metric conversion tool")
All vendors participating in our Vendor Update Program will auto-
matically receive any NEW programs which we may release while their
Vendor Update Program is in effect.
NOTE: ASP Associate Members automatically receive free updates and
do not need to apply for the Vendor Update Program. This is
yet another advantage to being an ASP Associate Member.
The Vendor Update Program is only intended to help us cover our expenses
in those cases where a vendor 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 Vendor Update Program.
