- [PLEASE NOTE: This product is named "4DOS", and this version is more
- fully described as "4DOS for the Windows NT Operating System". For
- brevity, in this file and throughout our documentation we refer to "4DOS
- for Windows NT", to "4DOS/NT", or to the program file name, 4NT.EXE or
- 4NT. When "4DOS" is used by itself the reference is to our DOS product.

-
- This file provides information for shareware disk vendors and user
- groups on the distribution of 4DOS for Windows NT.
-
- We are glad to work with you in the distribution of our product, as user
- groups and disk vendors are an important part of the shareware distribu-
- tion system.
-
- Before placing 4DOS for Windows NT or any part of the 4DOS for Windows
- NT package in any shareware or other disk library, or distributing
- shareware copies for a fee in any way, you must meet one of these
- conditions:
-
- * If you are a U.S.-based shareware disk vendor, you must be an
- approved member of the Association of Shareware Professionals (ASP),
- and your application must be fully approved in writing by the ASP,
- not simply submitted or awaiting review. If you are not an ASP
- member, we cannot currently offer you permission to distribute our
- products. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you, but
- we have found that the administrative overhead required to handle
- non-ASP vendors from within the U.S. is simply too high.
-
- * If you are a U.S.-based, non-profit, tax-exempt user group, you may
- place a shareware copy of 4DOS for Windows NT in your library without
- prior written permission, provided you obtain a diskette copy from
- another vendor (not a downloaded copy), and notify us in writing
- within 15 days of doing so.
-
- * If you are a disk vendor based outside the U.S., you must either be
- an ASP member, or you must obtain prior written permission from us
- before distributing 4DOS for Windows NT.
-
- If you meet one of these criteria and would like to carry 4DOS for
- Windows NT, you may obtain it from another vendor if the other vendor
- has received their copy directly from us. If you prefer to distribute
- shareware obtained directly from the author, please write us and we will
- send you 4DOS for Windows NT on diskette at no charge. In either case,
- please send us a copy of your catalog for our files.
-
- PLEASE NOTE: JP SOFTWARE DOES NOT PERMIT RETAIL RACK DISTRIBUTION OF
- 4DOS FOR WINDOWS NT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. If you use retail racks,
- please do NOT contact us for approval of rack distribution, as it will
- be denied! CD-ROM DISTRIBUTION IS ALSO PROHIBITED without our express,
- written permission, and new permission is required for each new release.
- These prohibitions apply even if you are distributing diskette copies of
- one or more of our products, or have distributed our products via rack
- or CD-ROM in the past.
-
- Non-ASP vendors who wish to consider becoming ASP approved can obtain
- information from:
-
- Association of Shareware Professionals
- 545 Grover Road
- Muskegon, MI 49442-9427
