- Registering The Star Commander
-
- The Star Commander is giftware. You may use the unregistered version as long
- as you wish, it is in no way crippled, there are no nag screens or delays in
- it and it won't refuse to run even a year after the installation. It is my
- personal will not to put any of these restrictions into the Commander because
- I don't like such "features" in shareware programs either. However, if you
- appreciate the years of work it took to create the Commander then you're
- encouraged to register it. My main reason for this is to get some information
- about the people using the Commander all over the world when they register
- but, of course, getting some money won't hurt either.
-
- There are only two things that may annoy you when using an unregistered copy
- of the Commander: first, when you start it, you'll see three extra lines below
- the title asking you to register and, second, there is a similar sign in the
- uppermost lines of the 'About the Commander' section of the online help.
-
- Please, cut and fill in the registration form below. As a registration info,
- you can type a maximum of 50 characters that will be displayed in the
- Commander. Indicate if you want your name to be put to the list of registered
- users below and whether you would like to see the amount of money you paid for
- the Commander there or not.
-
- When you're done, send the form to me in an E-mail. Soon you will receive a
- reply containing a uuencoded keyfile that registers your copy. If you have no
- access to the Internet but you're living in Hungary then print the form out
- and send it to me in a snail-mail along with a formatted disk and a return
- envelope with stamps and your address on it - I'm sorry, but I can do nothing
- with non-Hungarian stamps. When registering, you don't have to send any money,
- only if you want: this is what "giftware" is about. 10 USD, 15 DEM or the
- equivalent in your own currency (the proposed fee for Hungarians is only 500
- HUF) would be quite satisfying but you can send me more or less - it's up to
- you to decide how much the Commander is worth for you. You can transfer the
- money to my bank account (please, note that the money is a "present" from you
- to me):
-
- Kovács Balázs
- 121-236470
- Postabank
- József nádor tér 5.
- 1920 Budapest, Hungary
-
- Alternatively, you can send the money by a simple check or by bank notes in
- a snail-mail to me. Please, don't send Eurocheques or coins, I can't exchange
- them to cash. My home address is the following:
-
- Kovács Balázs
- Budapest, XX.,
- Orsolya utca 5. IV/12.
- 1204, Hungary
-
- If you register the Commander, the keyfile you get will make those three
- lines disappear forever. If you enter the 'About the Commander' section of the
- online help, you will see "This copy of The Star Commander is registered to:
- <registration info>" in the uppermost lines. If you have an E-mail address,
- you'll also be put onto the mailing list so that you always get the newest
- versions in uuencoded E-mails on the release day. If you have no access to the
- Internet but you're living in Hungary then you can always send me a formatted
- disk and an envelope with stamps and your address on it to get the latest
- release. You will always remain a registered user, the keyfile will be valid
- with all future releases. Your name is optionally going to be added to the
- list of registered users at the end of this file so that everyone sees you've
- already done the right thing.
-
- As a registered user you won't get other extras because I can't offer you
- more: the registered version doesn't have new features over the unregistered
- version and if you have problems, I'll try to help you independently of your
- being a registered user or not. However, by registering, you can make sure
- you've made your moral (and optionally your monetary) contribution to further
- development.
-
- Don't forget that a software worth using is worth buying and that it's a
- lame thing to distribute your personal keyfile when anyone else can also
- register the Commander for free. Thank you!
