This is the evaluationware version 6.4 of the Small
Business Advisor, in PKZIP format, suitable for
downloading by users of BBS's. The program files
are stored in two PKZIP archive files, SBADV64A.ZIP
and SBADV64B.ZIP, in addition to this UNarchived file
SYSOP.DOC. Users who want to use the program will
need PKUNZIP.EXE (available from PKWARE or as share-
ware from almost any shareware vendor) in order to
de-archive the two .ZIP files (which are NOT self-
extracting files).
Installation of SMALL BUSINESS ADVISOR simply consists
of copying all the de-archived files from both of
the .ZIP files into a single directory, then typing
"ADVISER" to start the ADVISER.EXE main program file.
Permission is granted to all not-for-profit user groups
to charge users for making copies of this version of the
program; and all BBS's are authorized to re-distribute
this version of the program, including non-ASP members.
Those vendors who are dealer members of the
Association of Shareware Professionals are authorized
to add the program to their catalogs, BBS or other
shareware product listings without first obtaining
permission of the author. However, it will be help-
ful if you notify the publisher of the Small Business
Advisor (RONIN SOFTWARE) that your company wishes to
begin distribution of the program, so that we can send
you the non-BBS version, which is self-installing with
a simple "INSTALL" command, and which is set up on two
360K diskettes in the form of LHA self-extracting com-
pressed files. Also, if you contact us, we can place
you on our mailing list to receive the regular (quar-
terly) updates of the program.
All other prospective vendors of the program must first
request permission to distribute Small Business Advisor,
which will usually be granted if you enclose a copy of
your catalog or similar information.
NOTE TO SYSOPS: In accordance with ASP guidelines,
each "distribution archive" file (in .ZIP archived
format--BBS distribution version of the program only!)
contains the file FILE_ID.DIZ, which is a descriptive
ASCII file of 10 lines, maximum 45 characters each.
Installation instructions for users are in the READ.ME
file, in archive file SBADV64A.ZIP. Because of the
size of the program, 2 "distribution archive" files,
SBADV64A.ZIP and SBADV64B.ZIP, are provided, each of
which will fit on a 360K diskette (diskettes #1 and
#2 respectively).
Please send request for permission to distribute Small
or for the self-installing non-BBS version of Small
Business Advisor to:

FURTHER NOTE TO ALL VENDORS (CATALOG OR BBS): IF YOU
HAVE OBTAINED THIS PROGRAM FROM ANOTHER DISTRIBUTOR,
RATHER THAN DIRECTLY FROM US, WE WILL HAVE NO WAY OF
KNOWING THAT REGISTRATIONS WE RECEIVE ARE COMING FROM
YOU, UNLESS YOU CHANGE THE VENDOR'S NAME IN THE FIRST
LINE OF THE SMALL ASCII FILE, "F123.SBE." [We send
out quarterly updates automatically to those vendors
through whom we have received user registrations
during the preceding 3 months.]
IF YOU WISH TO INSERT YOUR COMPANY NAME, SO THAT
COPIES YOU SELL THAT ARE REGISTERED BY USERS WILL
SHOW YOUR COMPANY AS THE DISTRIBUTOR, EDIT THE
F123.SBE FILE WITH A TEXT EDITOR, BUT CHANGE O N L Y
THE PART OF THE FIRST LINE OF TEXT TO THE LEFT OF
THE "\" (BACKSLASH). AND DO N O T MODIFY THE NUMBERS
OR OTHER CONFIGURATION DATA ON THE SECOND OR OTHER
LINES OF TEXT IN FILE F123.SBE.
NOTE ALSO, THAT WHEN YOU HAVE SUBSTITUTED YOUR
NAME BEFORE THE "\" ON THE FIRST LINE OF TEXT
IN F123.SBE, THE PROGRAM'S TITLE SCREEN WILL
SUBSEQUENTLY DISPLAY A HIGHLIGHTED LINE THAT
READS:
"PRESENTED BY [YOUR COMPANY'S NAME]"
