The individual receives what is gotten by registration. Note this is not site license where registrant may not be the actual user. To calculate group registration fee, let n be the number of people in the group (n >= 1). Then calculate as follows. 1) Let double floating point number d be as follows Concache 1.10 Last Update: 27 June 1996 2 REGINFO.TXT COPYRIGHT 1995-1996 horio shoichi REGINFO.TXT d = sqrt(sqrt(sqrt(sqrt(n)))). 2) Let long integer t = 30 * n / (d * d * d). You have calculated the amount t = 30 * n ** 0.8125. This is the total amount. 3) To adjust fraction below penny (or yen) let p and P be integers such that p = t / n and P = p * n, respec- tively. Then p is the amount a registrant in the group pays, and P is the total amount dollars to be paid by the registrants of a group. To calculate above p and P, ccreg11.exe is with this pack- age.
