The best shot at licenceware is "F1 Licenceware" in the UK, the owner Steve
Bye used to be on this conf but has unsubsscribed recently, likely because he
usually checks his e-mail once a week or so, and if you do that you end up
with about a zillion List messages, probably blew away his BBS time limit :-)

But he does a good job of marketing if he accepts your work, and where many
marketing companies get floods of complaints he gets next to none.  You hear
back within the week about whether the quality is good enough, and what price
range you are beiZxng slotted into.  Go with what he suggests, he knows what
he's doing.  All the F1 stuff advertised in the UK mags is his company.  He'll
send you a demo game is you want to see what level of quality he expects.  To
touch base with him his e-address is below, and give him a few days to reply:

NEW INTERNET SOFTWARE STORE

There is also a new Internet store called Albert's Ambry that has set up a Web
site 2 months ago where users can download a demo of your program, and if they
like it they can enter their credit card number and then DL the whole program.
AA keeps 20% of the sale amount.  They sent authors their money every yearly
quarter, and if you want to see how your sales are going there is a Web page
to look that up.  If you want to do this they send you a legal agreement to
sign which states that they have exclusive Internet sales rights, but it
allows the author to market in other areas like Compuserve, so I don't really
see the point of it.  And you agree to support users questions or problems
with the software, and if you don't and AA gets complaints, they have the
right to refun2o����m=��8���P@�ë�\HX'j�B������q�

Their e-address is:

and if you're in the USA you can call them (Ray or Jeff) toll free at
800-996-2252.
