║ Registration Information ║
╚══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
Since DogWorld is shareware, you are allowed to try out the game before
deciding whether or not to purchase it. Many games on bulletin board systems
are in fact registered by the users and not the sysop. We believe that when
you see the quality and stablility of DogWorld, you will be proud to offer
this product to your family of users.
DogWorld is fully functional to your users until they hit level 6. They
will not be able to continue past level 6 until the game is registered.
After you register DogWorld, you will recieve unique registration
codes printed just for your copy of the game!
The codes are entered using DOGEDIT.EXE. Just use:
"(C) - Enter Registration Codes". After entering the codes, the entire game
will be operational. Registration will get you:
* Twice as many levels and enemies.
* The game can be finished. (Players can go beyond level 6).
* Dream Sequences will be displayed to users after every Dog Catcher
kill. Several dream sequences are included and more can be added by
the sysop.
* (D)og Awards in the (O)bedience School will actually be useful. This ranks
heroic dogs, depending on how many times they defeat the evil Dog Catcher.
* The Player Editor in DOGEDIT will allow you to save changes.
* The Enemy Editor in DOGEDIT will allow you to save changes.
* The Weapon Editor in DOGEDIT will allow you to save changes.
* The Armor Editor in DOGEDIT will allow you to save changes.
* You can change the number of Alley Fights, Dog Fights and starting
bones a player is allowed to have.
By supporting this quality product, you are insuring future development.
All future versions of DogWorld will work with your registration codes.
NO CHARGE FOR DOGWORLD UPGRADES, EVER! Downloading new versions will be
left up to you. The latest version will always be made avaliable here at
Online USA (615) 388-7766 or by FIDO Freq at 1:116/165 using the magic name
of DOGWORLD.
