Distribution - how to

Some points a distributor of the Watchwords disk should consider:

  * check the disk for viruses!
    
  * set the disk label (LABEL command under DOS). This is especially
    important when you are re-using disks. Recommended label: LOSUNG00
    
  * the disk should look neat (e.g. use a printed label). In the
    download area of the internet pages you'll find a label for
    printing.
    
  * print your own address on the label (at least your phone number)
    
  * print the internet address on the label (www.losung.de)

Reasons for the new distribution structure

In 1999, we'd like to establish a new distribution structure in order
to spread the load more evenly. There are various reasons for this:

  * During past years, more and more people contacted Reinhold
    Willnat [the originator of the Watchwords programs] for the new
    disk.
    
  * There are currently several program versions for various
    languages and operating systems.
    
  * Maintaining a list of the main distributors alone, and shipping
    the disks to them, is a tremendous amount of work!
    
To solve these problems, the Watchwords disk (DOS/Windows) will, from
now on, be distributed by the "snowball system." This involves several
clearly distinguished tasks. 

In Germany, where lots of disks have been distributed during the past
years, this system starts in 1998. For other countries, this is a
proposal that should turn out to be helpful, too.

See also the list of distributors in various countries of the world.

The distribution structure of the DOS/Windows disk

In principle, all distributors should be able to give an e-mail
address. This helps a lot in communication!

The local distributor: 
  
    * takes over responsibility for the distribution in one
      community.
      
    * end users should direct all requests for a new Watchwords disk
      to their local distributor! 
      
    * There is no limit for the creativity of local distributors:
      distribute the disk amongst your friends and relatives, in your
      Church, Bible Study Group, etc... We'd like to publish your best
      ideas on the internet (please send these by e-mail to the
      language coordinator). 
      
    * A local distributor does not discriminate against any
      denomination but observes 1 Tim. 2:4 ... 
        God wants everyone to be saved and to know the truth. 

The regional distributor: 
  
    * there is one regional distributor for each main zip code
      division (perhaps the first two digits of a given zip code -
      various countries may want to experiment as to what makes most
      sense for them). 
      
    * The regional distributor passes the programs along to the
      local distributors in his region (or just informs them via
      e-mail -for those who have e-mail capabilities-).
      
    * He thinks of ways how he can distribute the programs in his
      region to more communities. Cultivating a number of local
      distributors will help him, on the basis of the snowball system,
      to accomplish that task.
      
    * He maintains a list of local distributors in his region (in
      order to forward questions of end users to the local
      distributors, etc.).
      
    * If a regional distributor begins or terminates his
      participation, or if his address changes, he informs the
      national distributor (to keep the address list up to date!). 
      
The main distributor: 
  
    * one for each starting digit of a zip code (various countries
      may want to experiment as to what makes most sense for them). 
      
    * For a main distributor, e-mail capabilities and internet
      access are required!
      
    * The main distributor obtains the Watchwords programs from the
      internet as soon as they are released and forwards them to the
      regional distributors in his region.
      
    * Each main distributor is willing to handle your e-mail
      requests.
      
The national distributor: 
  
    * coordinates the distribution in a given country (e.g. USA) 
      
    * in countries with more than one main language, all
      distributors should distribute the main language versions of the
      Watchwords programs equally (provided these exist). The national
      distributor should also be able to obtain versions in other
      languages upon request. 
      
    * For the German language, national distributors in Germany,
      Austria and Switzerland are at work.
      
    * For English, there could be national distributors for the USA,
      Great Britain, and many other countries ... 
      
    * The national distributor maintains a list of main
      distributors, regional distributors, and of other special
      distributors in his country. All address changes of
      sub-distributors should be directed to the national distributor.

    * The national distributor forwards this list to the language
      coordinators of the language versions distributed in that
      country.
      
The language coordinator: 
  
    * maintains the lines you are now reading for his language 
      
    * coordinates the work of the national distributors for his
      language 
      
    * for German, this is Helmut Steeb in 1999 
      
    * for English, this is Roland Freischlad in 1999.
