HOW TO REGISTER
If you use Rolodex/2 for more than 15 days, you are expected to register
Rolodex/2. When you register, you will receive the latest version of
Rolodex/2. Plus information of other great products that I have created.
The registration fee is only $20 (US funds).
Updates and bug fixes are free but shipping charge may apply.
Major new releases might require a small upgrade fee. Users who register
Rolodex/2 and provide an e-mail address will automatically receive
updates via e-mail.
For e-mail registrations, you need to use a program called "uudecode" to
decode the uuencoded file that I email to you. For your information,
a uuencoded file is a binary file that is converted to text by a program
called "uuencode". If your mail system rejects large messages, I will
split the uuencoded file into smaller parts before mailing the parts to
you, and you will need to edit the messages with a text editor before
you can decode them.
To register, complete the order form and send a check or money order
in US funds to:
Dennis Frost
107 Davis Rd
Centerville, OH
45459
Registration of Rolodex/2 is based on personal usage. Corporate or
organizational users must register all copies used on an individual
basis. A specific person must be explicitly assigned to each
registrant who will be provided with a personalized copy of Rolodex/2.
Registration grants a specific person (not an organization or
corporate entity) the right to use Rolodex/2. Contact me if you wish
to have a sight licenses, I will work out sight licenses on a case by
case matter.

or a combination of groups.

formats. Comma, fixed format left justified,
