[Z-PLAN.DOC] Z-PLAN APPLICATION FORM Alpha Systems (Joe Wright) 711 Chatsworth Place San Jose, CA 95128 408-297-5583 (voice) Alpha Systems has established the Z-PLAN for User's Groups, to help support the groups themselves and to promote the use of the new Z-System products by the group's membership. Under the Z-PLAN, your group itself becomes a dealer for Alpha Systems. The group sells NZ-COM to its membership (or anyone else for that matter!) and buys it from Alpha Systems at 75 percent of retail. Your group might offer 10 percent discount to the membership and retain 15 percent for the Treasury. We suggest that you only extend any special offers to your bona-fide members, and that you charge non-members full list price! This would provide non-members with that extra incentive to join your User's Group. This will allow the group a little extra money and incentive to support and promote the product. The Z-PLAN will apply to most of Alpha Systems' and Plu*Perfect Systems' software products. All you have to do to become a member of the Z-PLAN is buy one (Alpha-System) NZ-COM or (Plu*Perfect Systems) Z3PLUS product at full retail price, and fill out the information below and include it with your initial order. In return, we will rebate your group the price of an individual membership for one year, to a maximum of 25% of the retail cost of either NZ-COM or Z3-PLUS (In effect, your get the Z-PLAN price on the first order!). All we ask is that you do keep us on your mailing list, regularly send us your newsletter and keep us updated to your group's business. We want to become an active part of your group! Page 1 [Z-PLAN.DOC] HOMILY You will also be required to ensure that our products are treated properly with respect and are not "pirated" or ilegally copied. We are not some "Faceless" "Monolithic" "Rip-off" "Mega- bucks" organization that is exploiting and manipulating the pub- lic. We're a small "Family" of independant software writers who're commited to providing quality 8-Bit software at the lowest possible prices. We give away for free most of what we write to begin with, anyway, but if we're to continue to survive, we need your support and protection, just as much as you need our cont- inued creation and support of 8-Bit software. So rather than scare you with a ninety page corporate "Boilerplate" "Dealer Licence Agreement", we just humbly ask to you to protect and respect these products. We really want you to appreciate that real people spent many months working on these products, incur- ring many expenses, and that if we are to continue developing and supporting more of these products, we desperately need the meager cash-flow that their sale provides. So if someone rips us off, you also get ripped off as well, cause without these small a- mounts coming in, we'll just have to stop what we're doing and earn our crust of bread else where, and NOBODY is doing for 8-Bit CP/M what we're doing. Just stop and think how much NZ-COM and Z3PLUS would cost, and how you'd be treated if (Heaven Forbid!) Micro-Soft or I.B.M. ever got hold of ZCPR! (END OF HOMILY) If you would like to participate in the plan, please fill out the form below and return it to us with your initial order.
