Limited Distribution License: ----------------------------- As the exclusive copyright holder for SkyMap, Chris Marriott authorizes distribution only in accordance with the following restrictions. ASP Approved Vendors in good standing are hereby given permission to distribute the SkyMap package. Non-ASP member vendors must request permission prior to distributing this package. The SkyMap package is defined as containing all the material listed in the PACKING.LST text file. If any files listed in the PACKING.LST text file, or the PACKING.LST file itself, are missing, then the package is not complete and distribution is forbidden. Please contact us to obtain a complete package suitable for distribution. The SkyMap package - including all related program files and documentation files - CANNOT be modified in any way and must be distributed as a complete package, without exception. The PACKING.LST text file contains a list of all files that are part of the SkyMap package. Small additions to the package, such as the introductory or installation batch files used by many shareware disk vendors, are acceptable. No price or other compensation may be charged for the SkyMap package. A distribution fee may be charged for the cost of the diskette, shipping and handling, as long as the total (per disk) does not exceed US$8.00 in the U.S. and Canada, or US$12.00 internationally. Disk Sets & CD-ROMs: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Vendors who wish to distribute the SkyMap package as a part of a collection, whether disk or CD-ROM based, may do so provided the complete package is included in the collection. The text file PACKING.LST contains a list of all files that are part of the SkyMap package. If you wish to add SkyMap to a CD-ROM or other collection, please check the release date of the version you have. If the version is over twelve (12) months old then please contact us to ensure that you have the most current version. This version was released in June, 1993.

Others (non-ASP Members) must contact us in advance to ensure that you have the most current version of the software. You cannot use a Disk-of-the-Month distribution to use up your inventory of old (out of date) disks. Only current versions may be shipped as Disk-of-the-Month disks. The PRINTED User's Guide may not be reproduced in whole or in part, using any means, without the written permission of Chris Marriott. In other words, the disk-based documentation may not be distributed in PRINTED (hardcopy) form. The SkyMap package cannot be "rented" or "leased" to others. You may not list any of our products in advertisements, catalogs, or other literature which describes our products as "FREE SOFTWARE". Shareware is "Try-Before-You-Buy" software, it is not free. Chris Marriott prohibits the distribution of outdated versions of the SkyMap package, without written permission from Chris Marriott. If the version you have is over twelve (12) months old, please contact us to ensure that you have the most current version.

Please send us a copy of any reviews, articles, catalog descriptions, or other information you print or distribute regarding the #Program_Name# package.

Vendor/Distributor Information Page 4 of 5 - #Program_Name#, Version 0.00 - Vendor.DOC - Vendor Update Program: ---------------------- Most non-ASP 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 an ASP Approved Vendor (in good standing), 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 per program (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), the program (or programs) for which you would like to receive updates, and a check or money order for $10 for each program (Countries outside of North America please add an additional $10 per program). Payment in U.S. funds drawn on a U.S. bank only please. The Vendor Update Program is available for the following products (as of March, 1991): The Programmer's Productivity Pack The Programmer's Productivity Pack Lite Easy Format: The Fun Floppy Disk Formatter Lite Format: The Small Floppy Disk Formatter Peruse: An ASCII and Binary File Reader 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. NOTE: ASP Associate Members automatically receive free updates and do not need to apply for the Vendor Update Program. This is yet another advantage to being an ASP Associate Member. 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. Vendor/Distributor Information Page 5 of 5
