Bob, what follows are my opinions only and should I mis-speak, I'm sure Wayne
will correct me.

We welcome participation from any vendor. The only caution I'd need to add
would be that blatant advertising will not be allowed. Product annoncements are
encouraged. Technical discussions on the product are welcome. Open examples of
technical support actually do more good that ads, in my opinion.

We have a private area set aside for the Vendors use ...but unfortunately, it
never saw much activity. It originally came about during the Frank Hogg/IMS
flame wars a couple of years ago.  There should be a file in the library
describing it's purpose and how to gain access. Look for VENDOR.TXT

As far as other active Vendors on the forum ... lessee, there's Zack, John
Strong, Frank Hogg, Ed Gresick, Mark Griffith, Bill Dickhaus, and Mike Haaland
just off the top of my head. I'm sure there are more.

We stand ready to assist the OS9/OSK vendors in any way we can. I've been a
strong supporter of using CompuServe forums in this manner, so if you have any
ideas on how we can better use the resources at hand, drop me a note.

Tell you what. I'd like to start a file listing all the vendors that are active
on the CompuServe OS9 forum. Let's include Company name, User Id, mail address,
phone number and a _brief_ description of produts and services offered (this is
not a catalog or price list, just a general description). Let's limited it to
say ... 5 lines.

We'll compile the data and post it in the Library with a pointer that stays in
the News Flash Announcement.

What do you think?
