Summary: Facc Upgrade Policy


First  I  would  like  to  thank  Steve Walton and  Blaine  Gardner  for their
contributions to (my) understanding of Facc  and  what features are considered
important for adding to Facc.

As Facc is ASDG's first commercial software product we are new to the software
packing business - we did  not  state any upgrade policy on or in the package.
It is  the  following:  Owners  of Facc simply send their original disk with a
stamped self-addressed  envlope  and  we'll send an updated copy - forever (or
as long as ASDG is a viable  business  concern which we plan on being as close
to forever as we can make it :-)

The next version will  have exactly what the two persons referenced above have
suggested - and will be available  in  the  next few months - and you know me,
as soon as it's available - you'll hear about it :-)

So as it stands - the current  rev  of Facc *is* extremely useful as it stands
as reported by two (and actually many more) unbiased reviewers. And, we have a
planned series of improvements with totally free upgrades. Not a bad  start at
the software biz eh?
