--GENERAL------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-[Q] - Who is Ambrosia Software, Inc.?
-
-[A] - Ambrosia Software, Inc. is a small company dedicated to bringing you quality software, excellent support, and innovative ideas all at a reasonable cost. We give you commercial-quality software at a fraction of the price, with the added convenience of being able to try out the software before you pay for it.
-
- Ambrosia distributes software on numerous electronic information services, as well as via user groups, and approved public domain distributors. Of course, you can always obtain our products directly from us as well. You are given a 30 day free license to evaluate any of our software; after the 30 days have passed, you are expected to send the appropriate registration fee to us for processing.
-
-.....
-
-[Q] - What kind of products does Ambrosia create?
-
-[A] - Ambrosia creates personal productivity tools that make using your Macintosh a more enjoyable experience, as well as anti-productivity tools (games) that are just plain fun. For brief capsule descriptions of our products, please visit our Web site, or see the document Ambrosia Products FAQ.text that comes with our products.
-
-.....
-
-[Q] - Does Ambrosia have a product catalog?
-
-[A] - Not in the traditional sense, no. We did have a nice glossy, color catalog at one time, but we decided that since we distribute our software electronically, it only makes sense that our product catalog is electronic as well.
-
- The latest versions of all of our software -- and of course descriptions of them as well -- can be found in our support forums on several information services. Please see the [Q] - How can I obtain Ambrosia's products? question for directions to our forums.
-
-.....
-
-[Q] - How can I obtain Ambrosia's products?
-
-[A] - The latest versions of all our products are always available in the Ambrosia Software forums on the following services:
-
- o America Online: While you are signed on AOL, choose Keyword... from the GO TO menu, type FILESEARCH, and hit the return key.
-
- o CompuServe: While you are signed on CompuServe, use GO word AMBROSIA to reach the Mac Vendor D area, where Ambrosia Software, maintains a forum.
-
- o Internet: Visit our web site at http://www.AmbrosiaSW.com/ or our ftp site at ftp://ftp.AmbrosiaSW.com/
-
- o Hotline: Visit our Hotline server at hotline://hotline.AmbrosiaSW.com/
-
- You can now get all of our products on one CD. This CD contains unregistered versions of all of our games and utilities, plus lots of extra goodies. You can order this CD from our web site at http://www.AmbrosiaSW.com/Ware/ or you can call our toll free number 1-800-231-1816. This number is available from 9AM - 5PM EST, Monday through Friday.
-
- We've also made arrangements with the PD/Shareware distributor Arizona Mac Users Group so that they carry the full line of up-to-date Ambrosia products. To order an Ambrosia Software, Inc. product and have it sent to you on disk, please call AMUG at 602.553.8966. You can also fax your order, or any questions about ordering, to 602.553.8771.
-
-.....
-
-[Q] - Does Ambrosia have a forum on America Online?
-
-[A] - In early 1997, AOL changed their policy regarding participation in the Company Connection. The Company Connection is now an advertising area rather than a content area. We evaluated AOL's new pricing strategy for Company Connection forums, found the fees to be excessive, and decided our customers would be better served by closing the forum down.
-
- Although our forum on AOL no longer exists, you can still find our products on the service. from the GO TO menu, type FILESEARCH, and hit the return key.
-
-.....
-
-[Q] - Does Ambrosia have products for any platforms other than the Mac?
-
-[A] - No. We firmly believe in doing what we do best and not spreading ourselves too thin. We're all familiar with the Macintosh -- both in terms of using the machines and programming them -- and don't foresee working on any other platforms in the near future.
-
-.....
-
-

-
-.....
-
-[Q] - Why should I register (pay for) an Ambrosia product?
-
-[A] - We're attempting to offer high quality products at a low price, on a "try before you buy basis." Supporting us by registering our products -- assuming you like them -- is the only way you can ensure that we will continue to produce more high quality software distributed as shareware.
-
- Beyond that, you will receive a license code that removes the shareware notices and personalizes the Ambrosia product you've purchased with your name, giving you a legal copy on your Macintosh.

-
--SHAREWARE------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-[Q] - What is shareware?
-
-[A] - Shareware is a method of distributing software that allows users to try the full version of a product for a period of time (Ambrosia allows for a 30 day evaluation period) before they are required to pay for it.
-
- Shareware publishers encourage users to copy their products and give them to their friends; asking that they pay only if they decide to keep the product past the evaluation period.
-
- Most people realize that it is in their best interest to support a company that is offering quality software at a fraction of the price of commercial software, and thus send in their shareware registration fee.
-
- Ultimately, you decide whether shareware authors will continue to distribute low cost, high quality software as shareware.
-
-.....
-
-[Q] - Why are you distributing your products as shareware?
-
-[A] - Because we firmly believe in the future of electronic software distribution. By eliminating the middlemen, it becomes feasible to offer quality products at a reduced price, with the added benefit to consumers that they can try the product to see if it suits their needs before they buy it.
-
- We're reaching a critical mass of people hooked up to some form of electronic information service or another. It's time that there was a viable software distribution paradigm that suits the digital nature of computer software.
-
-.....
-
-[Q] - Do you ever plan to "go commercial?"
-
-[A] - No. We've had numerous offers to "go commercial" with our products, but while Ambrosia is a business, it is a business with a vision. We're committed (or perhaps should be committed, but I digress...) to distributing quality software electronically at a price point substantially less than commercial software.
-
-.....
-
-[Q] - Do you actually make any money?
-
-[A] - "If it's not a personal question..." right? To answer the question, we're still in business. We're not getting rich by any means, but we haven't had to sell off the office mascot (Hector the African Grey Parrot) yet either.
-
- Whether we succeed at what we're doing or not is entirely in your hands, assuming we take care of our end of the bargain by putting forth a quality product. Don't forget that.
-
-.....
-
-[Q] - Is Ambrosia a full-time job?
-
-[A] - And then some. But seriously, yes, everyone who works for Ambrosia does so full-time, and depends on Ambrosia for their primary income. In actuality we all spend quite a bit more than 8 hours a day wearing our Ambrosia hats, but at least they are stylish and comfortable.
-
-.....
-
-
--HISTORY------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-[Q] - When was Ambrosia founded?
-
-[A] - Ambrosia Software, Inc. is a New York State S-Corp, incorporated on August 18th, 1993 (Federal ID#: 16-1443420). The name "Ambrosia" was used as a dba by Andrew Welch for 3 years prior to the incorporation of Ambrosia Software, Inc.
-
-.....
-
-[Q] - Who works at Ambrosia?
-
-[A] - Currently, Ambrosia employs the following people:
-
- Andrew Welch -- President & Thaumaturgist
- Ed Ota -- Operations / Combat
- David Dunham -- Technical Support
- Bernard Cochern -- Accountant & Office Manager
- Jason Whong -- Marketing
- John Champlin -- Operations
- Matt Slot -- Bitwise Operator
- Jennifer Tontarski -- Front Desk
-
-.....
-
-[Q] - What development environment do you use at Ambrosia?
-
-[A] - We had previously been using Symantec's THINK C for development, but we have since switched to MetroWerk's excellent CodeWarrior development environment.
-
- Ambrosia's programs are written in a mixture of Pascal, C, and a smattering of 68K assembler for special cases. We're investigating moving to C++, but haven't found the benefits to be convincing enough for our particular focus at this time.

--GENERAL------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-[Q] - What is Maelstrom?
-
-[A] - Maelstrom is a fast action arcade-style game for the Macintosh that
-uses rendered 3D graphics, high speed animation, and four channel digitized
-sound effects. The end result is a nerve-wracking arcade game that is sure
-to leave blisters on your fingers.
-
- Maelstrom has been given a 4.27 out of 5.0 in Inside Mac Games's player
-satisfaction poll. This puts Ambrosia's feisty $15 shareware program among
-the top ten ranked games, with expensive retail titles such as Hellcats Over
-The Pacific, Myst, Sim City 2000, and F/A-18 Hornet. Maelstrom also received
-a four star rating from Macworld, won the Shareware Industry Award for Best
-Mac Program, MacUser's Shareware/Entertainment Software award, and MacUser
-UK's Best Entertainment Software Award.
-
-.....
-
-[Q] - What computer do I need in order to play Maelstrom?
-
-[A] - Maelstrom works on any Macintosh with a 256 color display and at least
-2.3mb of free memory. Unlike many arcade-style games, Maelstrom DOES work on
-12" monitors.
- - Maelstrom also runs on Linux machines, running in X11 or at the
-console. If your machine runs X11 smoothly, you should have no problems
-playing Maelstrom. If you run the console version, make sure that your
-video card is one supported by SVGAlib; e.g. Cirrus Logic 5426.
- - Maelstrom also runs on Windows 95, using DirectX technology.
-
-.....
-
-[Q] - Who makes Maelstrom and how can I get in touch with them?
-
-[A] - Maelstrom is published as shareware by Ambrosia Software, Inc., a
-Macintosh-only, shareware-only company. The game itself was written by
-Andrew Welch, the founder of Ambrosia. To get in touch with Ambrosia, you
