| ORDERING VENDINFO TOOLS |
+-------------------------+
A NOTE TO VendView USERS
------------------------
This file is provided as a convenience for those who may wish to
register VENDINFO tools OTHER THAN VendView. VendView is free, and
may be used without further registration or permission.
The Auto-Upgrade program, which insures that you always have the
current version of the entire basic VENDINFO tool set, is available
to users of any of the VENDINFO tools, including VendView.
ORDERING VendEdit OR VendPrcs
-----------------------------
The VendEdit editor (which produces VENDINFO.DIZ files) is a
shareware product requiring payment of a registration fee. The
VendPrcs processor (used by distributors, such as vendors, sysops,
and CD-ROM publishers) is also shareware, with one exception.
VendPrcs can be used free, without registering, by any single-line
BBS that charges no fees to its users, and is not associated with a
business. If you wish to order VendEdit or VendPrcs (or other VEN-
DINFO products or services), you can do so using the registration
form below.
HOW TO ORDER
------------
You may order any of the VENDINFO tools or services by completing the
form found later in this document, and sending it to us in either
hardcopy or electronic form. E-mail orders are the easiest for us to
process.
COST SAVINGS
------------
There are a number of additional VENDINFO products and services
available. You can obtain them at a reduced rate if you sign up for
them at the same time as your initial registration, since this
reduces our processing costs.

AUTO-UPGRADE PLAN
-----------------
We're working hard to make the VENDINFO Auto-Upgrade Plan into the
best value in shareware. Subscribers get:
o New versions of VENDINFO tools as they are released. These
tools have been significantly improving all along. We've been
issuing Auto-Upgrade packages about once every three months,
including all the basic VENDINFO products: VendEdit, VendPrcs,
VendView, VendUtil, etc.
o New registration keys, if needed to "unlock" new versions. Your
original registration key entitles you to use your original
version of VendEdit or VendPrcs forever, but doesn't guarantee
access to all future versions.
o Additional VENDINFO tools. We're developing a line of utility
tools that will be provided free to Auto-Upgrade subscribers,
but will otherwise be available only as retail products. In-
cluded are VENDINFO-from-ZIP file extractors, very efficient
script-driven VENDINFO-to-text and VENDINFO-to-database extrac-
tors, and others as we think them up.
o Additional license rights. We're working on new, specialized
capabilities for VENDINFO, such as the ability to construct an
electronic media kit or an electronic demonstration kit for
your product, based on our VendView or VendView for Windows
viewers. The license for such use of these tools will be
provided automatically for Auto-Upgrade subscribers, but will
otherwise require a special purchase.
We'll add anything we can think of to make the Auto-Upgrade Plan
attractive to shareware authors and distributors. You can count on
its becoming a better and better buy as time goes on.
PRODUCT REGISTRY SUBSCRIPTIONS
------------------------------
Authors are encouraged to send their VENDINFO records to our central
Product Registry (and are given significant incentives to do so --
see VendEdit documentation for details). These are made available to
subscribing distributors immediately, and will also eventually be
available for custom queries by distributors and users (details for
custom queries are still being worked out).
Serious distributors will be interested in full-service subscriptions
to the Product Registry data, by mail, on-line access, or both. This
VENDINFO Order Info -3- Jun 1995
VENDINFO Tools and Services Ordering
is a great way of discovering new products and authors, maintaining
current contact information on known authors, and noticing new ver-
sions of your existing products.
The mail subscription entitles you to monthly packages containing all
received VENDINFO records (the first package will contain the com-
plete set to-date). Due to media costs, these packages will not
include screen shots (contact us if you want to work out a subscrip-
tion arrangement that includes them).
BBS subscriptions provide on-line access to all records, including
screen shots. We hope eventually to provide software for off-line
query preparation and very efficient on-line sessions (as well as
many other useful features).
VendLib SOFTWARE DEVELOPER'S LIBRARY
------------------------------------
The VendLib Library allows software developers to build VENDINFO.DIZ
access directly into such products as BBS programs and upload proces-
sors. It will also be very useful to distributors who write their own
customized database software, as it will allow them to directly
access all fields in each VENDINFO.DIZ file from within their own
software.
VendLib includes C source, and currently supports C/C++ applications,
as well as Windows applications via a DLL. Plans are underway to
extend support to other languages in the near future, but the source
provides a good guide for writing your own access functions, if you
prefer. Purchase of this package includes one year of support.
SITE LICENSES
-------------
Site, corporate, and network licenses are available for the VENDINFO
tools. Contact us for details.
ORDERING BY E-MAIL
------------------
If we receive your registration form by some form of secure e-mail
(e.g., CompuServe e-mail, FidoNet crash mail) and you ask us to do
so, we will send your registration keys by the same mechanism, for
fast registration. We will also send keys by non-secure e-mail (e.g.,
Internet), but only if you specifically request it. We reserve the
right to add a small fee for this (not more than $4.00), but our
VENDINFO Order Info -4- Jun 1995
VENDINFO Tools and Services Ordering
current policy is to charge no fee except for international FidoNet
crash mail.
ACCEPTABLE FORMS OF PAYMENT
---------------------------
All orders must be prepaid, by Visa, MasterCard, checks payable in
U.S. dollars and drawn on a U.S. bank, certified bank drafts drawn in
the hard currency of the issuing bank, American Express money orders,
U.S. or International postal money orders, or cash in a hard cur-
rency. (Rams' Island Software takes no responsibility if you send
cash, and suggests that if you do so the order be sent by registered
mail.)
REGISTERED VERSIONS KEYED TO COMPANY NAME
-----------------------------------------
Please be sure you fill out the registration form completely and
legibly. In particular, write your company name exactly as you wish
it to be reflected in VENDINFO records you produce with VendEdit, or
in "Distribution Terms" outputs you produce with VendPrcs. The
registration keys for both tools are based on your company name.
