│ This is a VENDINFO Product Information Record │
│ │
│ This record is a means of conveying information about a software │
│ product from the author to distributors and users. It contains a │
│ normal, "human-readable" section (you're reading it now), followed │
│ by a compressed data record. The data record contains a great │
│ deal of information in a form useable by automated tools. This │
│ allows BBSes, disk vendors, etc. to test automatically for │
│ permission to distribute, and to automatically extract product │
│ information for use in BBS files databases, vendor catalogs, etc. │
│ │
│ The VENDINFO file standard is published and is freely useable. │
│ │
│ The VENDINFO toolset includes a free end-user viewer, processing │
│ tools for use by distributors (BBSes, shareware disk vendors, │
│ etc.), and the editor used by author/publishers to produce these │
│ records. These tools are either free or very-low cost shareware. │
│ The toolset can be obtained from many sources, including the │
│ originators of VENDINFO: │

===== Information for Users ("READ-ME") ================
This package contains the 4EDIT(TM) file description editor
(Version 2.0), by XD Systems. This document contains only a brief
description of the package and its features, along with instructions for
its installation.
If you've ever wished you could rapidly add file descriptions to many
files at one sitting, then 4EDIT is the program for you. 4EDIT is a
windowed editor for file descriptions. It has many features that
make it flexible and easy to use. The program contains extensive online
help. Just type 4EDIT at the command line and then press F1 to enter
the Help system.
4EDIT is a shareware program. This evaluation version includes
all features of the program, and is not crippled in any way. You may
use it for up to 30 days, without charge See ORDER.FRM for more
details). If you like the program, and wish to continue its use after
this evaluation period, you are required to pay for the program. Any
fee you may have paid to others (disk vendors, dealers, etc.) to obtain
this evaluation version was a fee for their copying and distribution
services, rather than a payment for continued use of the program. All
registered users receive the latest version of 4EDIT, notice of major
upgrades, and help by phone, mail or E-mail when needed.
Register yourself as a 4EDIT user by sending $15 plus $3 P&H ($6 if
outside North America) to:
