HOW TO REGISTER BOXER: There are several different ways to register BOXER. Please use whichever method is most convenient for you. In all cases you will receive the latest version available at the time your order is received. Read the sections that follow and the registration forms below for other benefits of registration. (The registration reminders do not appear in registered copies of BOXER.) UPGRADE DISCOUNTS: Registered users of BOXER are notified by mail when major upgrades are released. Upgrades are available to registered users at a discount; typically about $10.00 per release. The upgrade notice sent will detail the major features contained in the new release and how to order it. Users who register within 30 days of major release can order the new release for just a small shipping charge. BONUS PROGRAM, NEWSLETTER: A free bonus program is provided to all Registered Users of BOXER. LEFTHAND MAN is a program written by BOXER's author which facilitates DOS file operations and speeds directory browsing. LEFTHAND MAN is not distributed as Shareware, and is not otherwise available. We will also send a copy of our newsletter, RINGSIDE, which features news items and tips of interest to users of BOXER. SPELLING CHECKER: An evaluation copy of the popular Shareware spelling checker "ShareSpell" by Acropolis Software will also be sent when ordering directly from the author. BOXER is shipped with a default macro set in which the Ctrl-S macro automatically calls ShareSpell to spell-check the file being edited. The pair work perfectly together! (Remember: ShareSpell must be registered with Acropolis Software if used beyond their evaluation period.) SPECIAL OFFERS: Registered Users of BOXER are entitled to receive a discount on a subscription to Shareware Magazine. The regular yearly subscription rate of $23.70 is reduced to just $14.95.
