A publishing company that specializes in training and development materials
(mainly books and workbooks) is interested in marketing and distributing my
software (my only product).  What kind of arrangement is typical for software?
That is, who handles the packaging?  Who pays for and provides technical
support?  What is the standard royalty on gross sales?  Are companies generally
given exclusive rights?  Over what period of time are these rights given?
Where can I learn more about my opportunities, obligations and rights?  Thanks.
