PRO-FILE PROFESSIONAL FILE SYSTEM
REGISTRATION DETAILS
The shareware version of PRO-FILE you have right now is the complete
program itself and is fully functional. However, in order for you to
unlock its full potential, you must, at some point register. PRO-FILE is
not Crippleware; you can use PRO-FILE as long as you like before you decide
whether or not you think it is worth registering. Because I am a firm
believer in the shareware concept, I have made the shareware version of
PRO-FILE completely functional. All necessary tools and functions required
to use and evaluate PRO-FILE are operative even in the un- registered
version. However, along with registration, you'll receive an incredibly
warm feeling of honesty in your heart, as well as these exciting
registration bonuses:
■ Access to the full 100 file areas instead of only 30.
■ Amazingly, The Extended File Information Door will come to life and
will allow you to use it on your BBS.
■ The Statistics Report Generater will incredibly come alive and allow
access to use it.
■ Master Listings can be generated and made available for download
automatically.
■ And don't forget, your registration includes life time support and free
updates.
Being a SysOp for 2 years myself, I realize what goes behind the scenes in
creating and maintaining a good BBS. I also know the amazing amount of
time and especially money spent in the process. Therefore, I have designed
PRO-FILE to be easy to install and use and have the easiest registration
method I've ever seen. But I think what you'll like most of all is the
fact that this software doesn't cost an arm and a leg to register. For
your added benefit, there are three registration plans available you can
choose from.
Plan #1: Basic Registration Package: Cost: $18
-----------------------------------------------
This plan is geared toward the standard method of registering. If you
just want to register your own copy and don't know of anyone else who might
want to register, then use this plan to purchase just one copy.
Plan #2: Multiple Quantity Package: Cost: $15 Each
---------------------------------------------------
This plan is geared toward a group registration, which offers a significant
discounted price. In order for you to use this plan and receive the
discounts, 5 or more people must submit their registration at the same time
(in the same shipment). There are two methods of registering in this case
(See below).
Plan #3: Programmer's Package: Cost: $35
-----------------------------------------
If you are a programmer and you are interested in writing additional
utilities for PRO-FILE, then this plan is for you. Along with your
registered key code, you will receive the Turbo Pascal structure to
PRO-FILE's data base that will allow you to write programs (private or
commercial) that read, write, and modify the PRO-FILE data base. In
addition to the registration bonuses mentioned at the beginning of this
documentation, you will also receive the complete source code to the high
backgrounds unit used by PRO-FILE to allow access to all 16 background
colors. Finally, you'll also receive a utility that will allow you to use
TheDraw to design screens with the full 16 background colors.
HOW TO REGISTER
---------------
Plan #1: $18 Single Registration:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
All you have to do is use the included Registration utility by typing in
"REGISTER" at the DOS prompt. Most of the information required on the
registration form will already be filled in. Once you fill in the
additional information, you will have the option to print the registration
form to the printer or disk file. In addition, if you have the right kind
of printer, you'll have the option to insert an envelope in the printer and
have the printer automatically address the envelope for you. When I
receive the registration, I will send you a letter with your registered key
code, usually on the exact same day I receive your registration. No
additional files are needed to register your copy of PRO-FILE, only your
unique registered key code. When you get the code, all you have to do is
type in PROFILE REGISTER, enter the code, and PRO-FILE will do the rest!
Plan #2: $15 Multiple Quantity Discount Registration:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You have several options available here. Each person that will be
registering in your group will need to pay the $15 discount price and also
send in their registration information (form). This can be handled several
ways. Each SysOp can send their registration separately, but I must
receive the entire group's registrations in the same day. More
conveniently, one person can mail all the registration information at once.
That means all payments from each person must be given to the person
mailing it and included in the shipment. You can send a different check
for each person or combine all payments in one check, it's up to you.
Remember, a registration form must be present for each person in the group.
When you are ready to register, just use the included Registration utility
by typing in "REGISTER" at the DOS prompt. When I receive the group
registration, I will send each SysOp their individual letter containing
their registered code key. I will usually be able to mail the letters the
same day I receive the registrations. No additional files are needed to
register PRO-FILE, only the unique registered key code. When you get the
code, just type in PROFILE REGISTER, enter the code, and PRO-FILE will do
the rest!
Plan #3: $35 Programmer's Package:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Same as Plan #1, except, in addition to your registered key code, you'll
also receive a disk with the PRO-FILE database structure, the high
backgrounds unit (with source), and the 16 Color Background Designer for
TheDraw.
FINISHING TOUCH
---------------
With Registration, you will receive the best support available. This
includes life time support and free updates. Your registered key code will
work with all future versions of PRO-FILE. If you have any problems, you
can notify me, and I will correct the problem promptly. When updates are
made, however, due to the low price registration cost, I cannot afford to
send the latest version to all registered sysops. When a new version is
compiled, it will be released in several national file echoes and you
should be able to download it from a local board within a week or so. And
of course, you can always download the latest version from my BBS or the
national distribution BBSes. If you want it immediately and registered by
means of Plan #2, then one person could call and download it and send it to
the entire group or city.
