REGISTER.DOC
Version 4.10 ProDev*EPRICE PRICING SYSTEM REGISTRATION FORM 05/01/91
Thank you for evaluating my Shareware Software. If you find that you are
able to use this software beyond the evaluation stage, you MUST register
your copy with PRO DEV Software. The Registration Fee is only $30.00 FOR
EACH COPY IN USE plus $5.00 Shipping and Handling. The next page is the
order form. To insure your satisfaction, I offer the following.
Pre-Registration Support
You can call (preferred) or write to PRO DEV Software with any
necessary questions about setting up or effectively using this
Shareware for your company. Please be sure to follow the Setup
instructions in the README.DOC file . . .
COPY A:README.DOC PRN (Enter)
. . . before calling or writing. You must operate this system on a
hard disk. You can NOT operate this system on floppy disks due to the
size of the system. If I determine that you have received a faulty
evaluation copy, I will probably send you a complimentary evaluation
copy.
This system works with the ProDev*QUOTE system, and both can be ordered
on the following registration form to save an additional $5.00
Shipping and Handling fee. Please see the registration form on the
ProDev*QUOTE disk for ProDev*QUOTE warranty information.
Here is what you will get for your registering.
1. You will receive a registered copy of the latest version of the
ProDev*EPRICE system Shareware disk. You will NOT have to enter the
copyright screen random number. You will also be able to skip the
closing screen. You will NOT be sent a printed copy of the
documentation as the on-disk manual is complete and describes all
features. This also holds down the registration cost of this powerful
system.
2. You will receive at least 1 year of telephone (preferred) or written
support. For registrants outside the USA or Canada, I will not be
able to return telephone calls as the overseas rates can rapidly
exceed the low registration cost.
3. If within 90 days of receiving the registered disks you find that you
are not satisfied with the PDS*EPRICE system, you may return the
REGISTERED DISK in the original PRO DEV Software disk mailer (or
equivalent) for a full refund.
5. If you discover what appears to be a bug, PRO DEV Software will
attempt to resolve the bug within 30 days from the time that PRO DEV
Software receives your full telephoned (preferred) or written
description of the bug. If the cause of the perceived bug is a result
of unusual hardware or software that you are using, PRO DEV Software
can not always modify the programs to operate with your unusual
arrangements.

Vendor Encouragements And Restrictions
This document contains PRO DEV Software's message to Disk Copying and
Bulletin Board Services. This is the second release of ProDev*EPRICE and
is coordinated with Version 4.10 of the ProDev*QUOTE Quotation system.
First of all, thank you for carrying my Shareware software in your Disk
Copying Service catalog or on your Bulletin Board Service. You are a
vital link in the Shareware distribution process.
You MAY . . .
1. This ondisk letter authorizes you to include the enclosed ProDev*EPRICE
Version 4.10 disk of Shareware software in your Shareware Cataloging
and Disk Copying Service. This is a non-exclusive authorization.
However, since this system is used to convert Contractor material item
prices from 3 USA and 2 non-USA pricing services to the ProDev*QUOTE
Quotation system file format, it MUST be carried with the ProDev*QUOTE
system in your catalog. Further, the ProDev*EPRICE system MUST be
listed contiguously with the ProDev*QUOTE system. The two systems work
together for the fast growing numbers of contractors purchasing
Shareware software.
2. You may sell disks containing copies of this software as long as you
do NOT imply to your customers that this is "free" software. It is
best if your catalogs make it clear that this is Shareware software
that the end user must register with PRO DEV Software to continue
using beyond the evaluation stage.
3. If you are a Disk Copying or Bulletin Board Service and you obtained
this software from other than PRO DEV Software, you may not have the
latest version. You are encouraged to write or call PRO DEV Software
and ask for the latest version.
PRO DEV Software 545 Grover Road Muskegon, MI 49442
616-788-2243 CompuServe PPN: 72617,1266
4. You may add your own files to this disk as long as none of them give
any impression that this Shareware software is "free".
You may not . . .
1. DO NOT remove any of the following files from the disk (or compressed
file if you are a BBS):
PRICPROG.EXE PRICEDAT.EXE PRINTERS.EXE PRICEDOC.EXE LIST.COM
NPSORDER.DOC PLMORDER.DOC TSCORDER.DOC TSAORDER.DOC TSIORDER.DOC
VENDOR.DOC INSTALL.EXE REGISTER.DOC README.DOC
LIST.COM is included on this disk with written permission from Vernon
Buerg and may NOT be removed or replaced with a different version.
Page 1
Copyright 1989 By PRO DEV Software Page 2 ProDev*EPRICE Version 4.10
Vendor Encouragements And Restrictions
2. Further, if you are a Disk Copying Service, please do not compress the
above files. Do NOT put one of my competitors products on the same
disk! Naturally, a BBS operator will compress the entire system as
required. If you sell 720k or 1.44m disks, you can combine this system
with ProDev*QUOTE and ProDev*QUOTE Utilities disks.
3. You may not replace the PRICEDOC.EXE SCRNCHed documentation file with
the ASCII EPRICE.DOC file or another form of archiving, packing or
ziping. Further, you may not unLHARC the PRICPROG.EXE, PRINTERS.EXE
or the PRICEDAT.EXE files. If you are a BBS, archive/pack/zip the
above files along with the other files WITHOUT first unSCRNCHing or
unLHARCing those files. This is because my INSTALL program expects
the SCRNCHed and LHARCed files.
I also encourage you to give this full featured system the write-up it
deserves in your catalog. The next page gives my "unbiased" {grin}
suggested catalog descriptions. I really get discouraged when I see
catalogs that just say "ProDev*EPRICE Contractors Pricing System". It is
really a powerful, low registration fee system that will allow the
Contractor to use the ProDev*QUOTE Quotation system and ALSO be able to
receive weekly price updates from the Pricing Services.
Now that I have gotten all of that legal stuff out of the way, let me tell
you what is in Version 4.10. The ProDev*QUOTE system has been evolving for
12 or 14 years, first on a mainframe computer and then as Version 3.0 for
PC/MS-DOS Shareware about 4 years ago. Version 4.01 was a complete
upgrade using pull-down menus and dBASE compatible files limited only by
available disk space.
PDS*EPRICE FEATURES
The publishing of the ProDev*EPRICE system has been requested by many
Electrical, Plumbing, Heating and Air Conditioning Contractors who are
registrants of the popular and low priced ProDev*QUOTE system. Typically,
the prices of Quote/Bid software, compatible with the National Price
Service, Trade Service Corporation, Trade Service Of Australia, Trade
Service Information (UK) or Plumlee Custom Publishers (USA) weekly/monthly
price updates, cost in the range of $800 to $2,500. NOW, these
Contractors have a cost effective alternative. They can take advantage of
their newly purchased low cost computer without having pay such high
prices. This release is to coordinate with ProDev*QUOTE Version 4.10 and
includes only minor changes.
Very truly yours,
George Abbott
