VERY LITTLE EFFORT! AND RECEIVE OUR COMMERCIAL VERSIONS FREE!
IMPORTANT BONUS: TO ENCOURAGE WORLDWIDE DISTRIBUTION OF
PROFITMASTER, AND IN CONSIDERATION OF THE COST AND POSSIBLY

METHOD #1:
Estimate of the number of BBSes in the United States
range from 25,000 to 50,000. Double that figure for
worldwide number. That's a lot of BBSes.
Periodically, we release FREE SAMPLE ISSUE(s) of Profit-
Master such as this one. Only FREE SAMPLE ISSUES such as this
one which are clearly designated as such and which clearly
permits FREE DISTRIBUTION may be uploaded to other BBSes and
online systems worldwide. Please note that regular commercial
versions which do not say they may be FREELY DISTRIBUTED or
which prohibits copying or distribution may not be distributed.
The latest FREE SAMPLE ISSUE is always first uploaded
to EXEC-PC BBS and Compuserve Investors Forum for
free distribution. The file is typically in the form of
FYMMDD.EXE where Y is the last digit of the year, MM are
the digits denoting the month, and DD denotes the day of
the month. For example, F30426.EXE would be forecasts
as of the close of market on year of (199)3, month of 04,
and day of 26, i.e. April 26, 1993.
EXEC-PC is a huge 213-line BBS. Its phone numbers
are as follows:

************************************************************************
Every time you upload the latest FREE SAMPLE ISSUE of
ProfitMaster to a bulletin board (BBS) that DOES NOT YET HAVE
the latest version of FREE SAMPLE ProfitMaster, and that will
make it available for caller downloading, you earn a minimum
$4 credit.
If the BBS has more than 1 line (node), you get extra credit
as follows (for BBSes that have multi-lines or multi-nodes):
02-05 lines/nodes: $1;
06-10 lines/nodes: $2;
11-15 lines/nodes: $3;
16-20 lines/nodes: $4;
21-25 lines/nodes: $5;
26-30 lines/nodes: $6;
31-35 lines/nodes: $7;
36-40 lines/nodes: $8;
41-45 lines/nodes: $9;
46-50 lines/nodes: $10;
over 50 lines/nodes: $12;
For example, for a one-line(node) BBS, the credit is $4;
for a two-line BBS, the credit is $4+$1 or $5;
for a five-line BBS, the credit is $4+$1 or $5;
for a 45-line BBS, the credit is $4+$9 or $13;
for a 50-line BBS, the credit is $4+$10 or $14;
for a 51-line BBS, the credit is $4+$12 or $16;
for a 100-line BBS, the credit is $4+$12 or $16;
(DOUBLE THE ABOVE CREDITS IF YOU ARE A PARTICIPANT OUTSIDE
THE UNITED STATES, E.G. CANADA, EUROPE, ASIA, AUSTRALIA, ETC.)
The credits may not be redeemed for cash but can be applied
towards the purchase or subscription of any commercial version
of ProfitMaster (at the then prevailing price, which may be
different from the current price). The credits do not apply
to shipping and handling charges, which must always be pre-paid
with check, money order or credit card.
From the above information, it is obvious that the larger the BBS
you upload this FREE SAMPLE ISSUE to, the more credits you can
earn for the same effort. It is therefore advantageous to upload
to BBSes with 51 or more lines/nodes (You get $16 per upload).
In any event the more you upload to the right BBSes, the more
credits you will get.
Here is how to proceed:
(1) Call up a BBS and determine if it has the latest FREE SAMPLE
issue of ProfitMaster. ProfitMaster files are in the form of
FYMMDD.EXE, FYMMDD.ZIP or FYMMDD.LZH. The YMMDD are 5 digits
which represent the last digit of the year (Y), the two digits of
the month (MM) and the two digits for the day of the month (DD).
For example, F30426.EXE would be forecasts made as of the close of
market on YEAR: (199)3; MONTH: 04; and day of the month: 26, i.e.
April 26, 1993.
You must upload to BBSes that will make the FREE SAMPLE ISSUE of
ProfitMaster(tm) available for caller downloading to earn
credit for that upload. If you upload it to inappropriate
BBSes, e.g. those devoted exclusively to match-making or
other non-file-transfer activities, you will earn only a token
$1 in credit. Also, you must upload only the latest FREE SAMPLE
ISSUE to qualify. To determine the latest FREE SAMPLE ISSUE,
please call 408-773-8715.
If you inadvertently uploaded older FREE SAMPLE ISSUES, all is not
lost. Just call us at 408-773-8715 for instructions.
(2) If a BBS does not have the latest FREE SAMPLE ISSUE of
ProfitMaster, but will make FREE SAMPLE ISSUE of ProfitMaster
available for downloading by callers, then you are in luck.
Upload the latest FREE SAMPLE ISSUE of ProfitMaster (keep a
log while you do this).
Note that your upload must contain all support files and
documentation, without any omissions or additions and must be
aggregated and compressed into a single file.
The easiest way to do this is simply use the latest copy from
EXEC-PC BBS or Compuserve Investors Forum. Some BBSes will
not allow EXE files, so you are authorized to decompress
and then re-compress all the files into the proper ZIP, ARC,
LZH or whatever format the sysop requires. Remember, all files
must be included, no omissions or additions (including this file
which you are now reading). You must also retain the file name
convention, i.e. file must be of the form FYMMDD (plus extension),
where YMMDD designates the date, i.e. last digit of the year,
month and day.
(3) After you have finished your upload task, print out
the "log", and specify the BBS name and telephone number, the
number of lines or nodes the BBS operates, the date and time
of your upload (as shown on your log printout, which you should
send along), the file name of the FREE SAMPLE ISSUE of ProfitMaster
you just uploaded and the location (i.e. the area or library or
place in the BBS where it was uploaded to. You can simply
highlight the "log" printout where such information appears.).
If you are the first person to upload the latest FREE SAMPE ISSUE
of ProfitMaster to the BBS and it is the type of BBS that will
carry said FREE SAMPLE issue of ProfitMaster, you've just earned
credit.
(4) Fill out the accompanying ORDER_FM.TXT text file
containing the Order Form, along with documentation of all
your uploads, and send the Order Form and Documentation
along with your name, address and phone number, and appropriate
balance of purchase price or subscription fee, plus shipping
and handling charges, payable to "ITC", to:

to a friend who owns a PC or clone and is an active investor,
but who has never heard of the software, ProfitMaster, you are
eligible for a $4 credit. A friend is defined as someone, not
a member of your immediate household, whom you know personally
and well:
(DOUBLE THE ABOVE CREDITS TO $8/FRIEND IF YOU ARE A PARTICIPANT
OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES, E.G. CANADA, EUROPE, ASIA, AUSTRALIA, ETC.)
Here is how to proceed:
(1) Determine that your friend
(a) owns a PC or clone;
(b) is an active investor;
(c) has never heard of ProfitMaster before.
(2) Give him/her a copy of our latest FREE SAMPLE ISSUE (in the
disk format that he/she can use);
(3) Note down your friend's name, address and phone (for our
verification), and the date of your introduction of our
FREE SAMPLE ISSUE, as well as the name of the file i.e. FYMMDD.EXE,
where YMMDD provides the date of the forecast;
(4) Document all your introductions of FREE SAMPLE ISSUE of Profit-
Master with the information in (3) above for each case, and send the
full documentation along with your name, address and phone number
along with the appropriate balance of purchase price or subscription

QUESTION: What if I have introduced only one friend to
ProfitMaster? Am I still entitled to some credit?
ANSWER: Absolutely! A full $4 credit is awarded to every
introduction. Simply deduct your total credit: $4 X (number
of introductions) from whatever the purchase or subscription
price you choose and pay the difference (plus $6 for shipping
and handling; $12 for overseas airmail). Be sure to enclose
with your order and payment the documentation for all the
credit you are entitled to as instructed above. Remember,
no matter how little you do, you are entitled to reward.
METHOD #3:
YES. You guessed it!. You can combine all of the above methods
to earn your credit. Be sure to send full detailed documentation
for your credits along with the Order Form in the ORDER_FM.TXT
file that accompanies this file.
TIP: It is easiest to earn credits using Methods #1, and
especially if you act early. As time passes, more and more
BBSes and shareware vendors would have already carried the latest
version. So if you want to take advantage of this fabulous
offer, you should act soon. Citizens and nationals of any nation
are eligible to participate in this great offer. We impose a limit
of $1,000 credit maximum per person. To obtain more than $1,000
credit per person, you need to write or call us for advance
authorization.
