SHAREWARE DEMO VERSION:
This program is shareware which means you may try it before you buy it.
Many hours go into creating programs and the shareware concept helps keep
the cost of packaging and distributing programs at a minimum. Please
support the shareware concept and if you use and enjoy a shareware program
let the author know by registering it so he/she may continue creating the
programs that entertain you.
DEMO LIMITATIONS:
Thank you for trying out BP Bomb Seeker Demo. I hope you find this
game as fun and addicting as I do. This demo is limited only by letting
you play as far as 2 levels. This should give you an idea of whether you
will enjoy it and please if you do enjoy this game consider registering
it. You can obtain a registered version which will let you play as many
levels as you can get to for as little as $6 (US). See 'How to Register'
below.
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS:
1. Any machine that can run Windows 3.x, Windows 95 decently. This
program was created on a 486 dx33 with 8 meg ram running Windows 95 and
has been tested on 386 machines running Windows 3.1, 486 machines
running Windows 3.1 and Windows 95 and several Pentiums.
2. 380,000 bytes free of hard drive space for the installation.
3. Mouse or Pointing device.
4. Vbrun300.dll in your \windows\system directory. Vbrun300.dll is
a library file windows systems need in order to run program written
in Visual Basic. Since most computers running Windows will already
have this file and since vbrun300.dll is readily available from
almost any source that has shareware files I have not included
this file with the demo.
INSTALLATION:
Copy all setup files into a temporary directory and run the setup.exe
which will install the demo.
WINDOWS 3.x - To run the setup.exe from Windows 3.1 or Windows 3.11,
from Program Manager click on FILE, RUN and then type the path to
setup.exe file. For example, if the files are on drive C: and in a
directory named TMP then you would type C:\TMP\SETUP.EXE and then click
on OK to begin the installation.
WINDOWS 95 - To run the setup.exe from Windows 95 click on START, RUN
and type the path to the setup.exe file. Again, if the files are on
drive C: and in a directory named TMP then you would type C:\TMP\SETUP.EXE
and then click on OK.
Setup will install the Bp Bomb Seeker Demo into a directory named \bpbomb.
Choose a drive and a directory that you wish to have the \bpbomb directory
created off of.
There are 2 color modes for Bp Bomb Seeker. 16 color mode and 256 color
mode. If you are unsure as to whether you are running windows in more than
16 colors then click 'No' during the installation process when prompted
for 256 color mode. (This setting can be toggled later while playing the
demo)
When installation is complete click on the Bp Bomb Seeker Demo icon and
have fun!

How we do business:
Kagi Software does business via email . We receive postal mail, email,
faxes and phone calls, and process registration payments.
Kagi Software processes software product payments for several hundred
authors and their programs. We need for you to use the Register program
that came with the Bp Bomb Seeker Demo since most of the payment processing
is automated to keep costs low and frees us to help you when you need it.
How we can respond to you:
After processing we will send all registered users an email that will
give you more information about Kagi Software and your program.
Email and fax registrations will be sent an acknowledgment that we
received your registration request. Because of the low percentage that
Kagi Software charges for payment processing we will not respond with a
phone call, unless you have an "800" number or receive collect calls,
and we do not send faxes. The only mail that we send is postcard receipts
that have been paid for. Kagi Software is NOT a software publisher and
does not ship any product or return anything sent on disks. Kagi Software
does not provide technical support for any of the other programs they handle.
For technical support:
Contact the authors of the individual programs.
Brad Perolis, (bperolis@kagi.com) is the author of Bp Bomb Seeker.
His email address should also be on the copy of the registration form
that you send us, so save a copy for yourself.
How to get help from us if you need it:
If you do not get a response from your registration request in a reasonable
amount of time, email four days, faxes six days, postal mail a few weeks,
please send the message below to us with the information entered.
This way we can help you as quickly as possible:
*We need this data:
Anything that you can provide us with would be helpful, such as when and
how you sent your payment and any previous email messages sent. Please
tell us exactly what you want us to do/send to you.
Payment-method: Card , Check and check #, cash invoice or First Virtual
Register-to: Registrants name
Time/Invoice: if original had this number
Email: email address
Addr: postal address
Card-name: card holder's name
Credit-card#: first 10 digits
Program: program name & cost
The Register Application.
Your copy of the Bp Bomb Seeker Demo should come with a small program called
Register, which you use to create a personalized registration form to send
to Kagi Software. If you do not have the Register application, you should
download a fresh copy of the whole Bp Bomb Seeker Demo package because the
latest version of the Bp Bomb Seeker Demo includes the Register program.
It is vital that you use the registration program since payments sent without
the registration form it generates can be delayed or lost.
When you launch the Register program, a window appears asking for all the
necessary information. If you have previously registered a program through
Kagi Software your personal information will appear, double check to see
that it is right.
You must provide a postal address, a US$1.00 extra charge, or an email
address, so that we can contact you. Please note that we do not reply
by FAX.
* Type your name, postal address, and e-mail address in the corresponding
boxes at the top of the window.
* If you have no email address enter "none".
**** Special Note: If you do not have an e-mail address, you must check the
Postcard Receipt box (which automatically adds $1 to your charge) at the
bottom right of the window. Otherwise, you will not receive any reply to
your registration. You will be registered, but you will not have the
registered version. After the initial postcard receipt Kagi only replies
via email.
* Then, fill in the payment details at the bottom left of the window.
Choose your method of payment from the pop up menu and complete the
relevant information (credit card number, type of currency, etc.) below.
Make checks payable to "Kagi Shareware." Checks must be in US Dollars only.
Please write the program name on the check as well as your email address,
if you have one.
* Note: Your credit card data is scrambled. Although this is not completely
secure, we have never had a case of credit card fraud.
* Next, indicate the programs you want to register in the middle of the
window. Type the number of copies you want to register into the Single User
box. In most cases you should just type 1. Do not type the purchase price
into this box since the Register application computes the fee for you.
* If you feel that the program is worth more than the registration fee,
you can add an optional bonus in the Bonus US$ box.
* Note: If the Register application lists more than three programs, you
can use the scroll bar at the right of the window to see the others.
Once you have filled in all this required information, the Register program
displays the total amount at the bottom right of the window.
Double check the total!
Choose one of these three items.
* Print... prints a hard copy of the registration form, which you can
mail to Kagi Software with your payment to the address shown on the form.
* Copy... puts a copy of the registration form on your clipboard for you to
paste into an e-mail message to send to Kagi Software. This method works only
with credit cards and First Virtual since it is not yet possible to email
cash or checks.
* Save... saves a copy of the registration to your hard disk as a
text document for you to print out or e-mail later.
Double check your registration request to see that all the information is
correct, if not, correct it using the Register program. Do not edit the
output produced by the Register program. The Kagi email and postal mail
addresses are given on the registration form and above. Save a copy for
yourself. We suggest printing it out. Note the author's email address.
Kagi Software registration, how it works:
After you register, Kagi Software automatically sends you an e-mail reply
titled 'Thanks for your registration'. You should print and save this
message as your receipt. If you checked the Postcard Receipt box in the
Register program, Kagi will send you a postcard with this information.
Again, if you do not have an e-mail address, you must request a Postcard
Receipt since otherwise you will not receive any reply.
It can take Kagi up to a week to process a registration from the date
they receive it (please make sure to factor in the delivery time if you
use postal mail). If you do not receive the 'Thanks for your registration'
e-mail message, contact Kagi at <support@kagi.com> or the postal address
given on the registration form to ask about the status of your registration.
See *We need this data: above. Keep in mind that some registrations can
get lost in the mail on the way to Kagi. Please make sure to seal the
envelope and write your email address on the check. Also, sometimes the
e-mail reply gets lost as well (America Online is particularly unreliable
when it comes to receiving e-mail from the internet). If you do not receive
an email confirmation of your payment, contact us with the
"*We need this data:" from above and ask what happened.
