Snooper(TM), the System Checker
Copyright 1992, 1994 John Vias


VENDOR AND SYSOP LICENSE AND RESTRICTIONS

This file provides information for shareware distributors, rack vendors,
BBS sysops, CD-ROM and book publishers, and user groups who wish to
distribute Snooper.

Individual and company users, please refer to SNOOPER.DOC for information.

Note that this archive should include a VENDINFO.DIZ file suitable for
automated processing of this program. Please refer to that file for more
information, and please help support the VENDINFO concept.

Snooper is defined as all the files listed in the unmodified VENDINFO.DIZ
file. Distribution is forbidden if any file listed is missing, including
the VENDINFO.DIZ file itself, or if any file has been modified in any way
(all files should have the same date, and the time should correspond to the
version). The latest, complete package suitable for distribution is always
available on the on-line distribution points listed on the first page of
Snooper's manual, SNOOPER.DOC and in VENDINFO.DIZ.


NAMING

The Snooper archive should be named and posted as:

SNOOPmnn.xxx

where ``m'' is the major version number, ``nn'' is the minor number, and
``xxx'' is the appropriate extension. For example, a hypothetical zipped
version 4.57 should be distributed as SNOOP457.ZIP. The extension can
reflect the type of compression used: ZIP, ARJ, ARC, EXE if self-
extracting, or whatever. On Compuserve, Snooper is posted as SNOOPR.ZIP,
owing to the six-character filename limit.
