- Vendor Update Program:
- ----------------------
-
- Most 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 on our current mailing list, 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 for all programs (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), and a check or money order for $10. (Countries outside of
- North America please add an additional $10). Payment in U.S. funds drawn on
- a U.S. bank only please.
-
- The Vendor Update Program covers all programs in release. For a complete
- list see the file UNICORN.COM.
-
- All vendors participating in our Vendor Update Program will automatically
- receive any NEW programs which we may release while their Vendor Update
- Program is in effect.
-
- 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.
