Disk Vendors and Distributors should refer to the VENDOR.DOC text file for complete license information. The FASTMAIL 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. o The FASTMAIL package - including all related program files and documentation files - CANNOT be modified in any way (other than that mentioned in the following paragraph) 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 FASTMAIL package. o Many BBSs customarily add a small text file (advertisement) to each archived file. This text file describes the BBS and tells people that the file was downloaded from that particular BBS. Other BBSs add a small one-line message with their BBS name and phone number into the compressed file, which will display when the file is uncompressed. Either of these methods of mentioning your BBS are acceptable and may be used, provided the program and documentation is otherwise unmodified and complete. o CACHE MICROSYSTEMS prohibits the distribution of outdated versions of the FASTMAIL package, without written permission from CACHE MICROSYSTEMS. If the version you have obtained is over twenty-four (24) months old, please contact us to ensure that you have the most current version. o Licensee shall not use, copy, rent, lease, sell, modify, decompile, disassemble, otherwise reverse engineer, or transfer the licensed program except as provided in this agreement. Any such unauthorized use shall result in immediate and automatic termination of this license.

BBS SYSOP Information Page 5 of 6 - FASTMAIL, Version 2.26 - SYSOP.DOC - BBS Update Program: ------------------- Most BBSs have standard procedures for acquiring new files. They get them from other boards, new programs are uploaded by users, etc. This is good because most authors cannot afford to mail disks or upload files to thousands of BBSs. However, some BBSs 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 your BBS would like to receive automatic upgrades to any of our products, directly from us, then please refer to the information below. Due to the time and expense we are generally unable to upload directly to a large number of Bulletin Board Systems. However, we are able to mail updates on disk (in a sealed envelope) to many BBS's. If your BBS would like to receive automatic updates then please take advantage of our BBS 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 the name and address of your BBS, your mailing address, the name of the person we may contact (preferably the SYSOP or CO-SYSOP), the program (or programs) for which you would like to receive updates, and a check or money order for $10 for each program (for 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 BBS Update Program is available for the following products (as of May, 1991): FASTMAIL, Mailing List Manager VIDEO BUFF, Video Tape Tracking Program ALBUM KEEPER II, CD, Tape, Record Organizer NOTE: All BBS's participating in our BBS Update Program will automatically receive any NEW programs which we may release while their BBS Update Program is in effect. The BBS Update Program is only intended to help us cover our expenses in those cases where a BBS 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 BBS Update Program. Please refer to page 3 for our mailing address and phone number. Thank you for your support!
