I wanted to find out if anyone has had any experience with
software marketing companies.  I have a program that I
would like to have marketed.  A company call SoftStream
International, Inc. in Mount Laurel, NJ would like to market
it for me.  Is this a reputable company?  They are offering
royalties of 15% of wholesale or 6% of suggested list price
whichever is larger.  Is this a typical royalty arrangement
in the microcomputer software industry.  It seems like I
am only responsible for maintaining the program.  I would
not be financially responsible for any of the marketing
costs incurred.  It seems to be all pluses from on my end
with the marketing company taking all of the financial 
risks.  Please let me know your thoughts and about any
past experiences with this or other marketing companies.

Thanks,
