History of the Tampa Bay Storm, The Tampa Buccaneers Game By Game, The Tampa

Results and Hall of Fame Bowl Results. There is also a menu item with
general information about this program.

REGISTRATION INFORMATION
------------------------
If you found this Shareware Version of DA BUCS interesting, you will really
enjoy the Registered Version. The Registered Version has the complete text
for all the menu items, along with the option of sending selected text to
either a file or a printer. Only by having registered users will DA BUCS
continue to grow. There are many other menu categories and additional
statistics which will be added, but only if a demand is shown through
registrations. A one time fee of just $6.00 (plus shipping and handling if
desired) will register you for Version 1.0 and all future versions of DA
BUCS.
To register DA BUCS you can send $6.00 to the address on the REGISTER.FRM,
and either download your copy from the support board or have it shipped to
via U.S. Mail. Mail orders will require $2.00 shipping and handling, and
only 3.5" disks will be shipped. All orders are processed within three
working days of receiving the order. You can also request that Version 1.1
be shipped as well. DA BUCS version 1.1 will be available in August of 1994,
after the Arena Bowl and before the start of the 1994 NFL season.
The nominal registration fee is for all future versions of DA BUCS, but the
following conditions will apply. If you wish a newer version than originally
registered, fill out the REGISTER.FRM and send along the current cost of
shipping. It is easier to go ahead and pay the extra shipping when you
originally register, as these orders will be shipped as soon as the new
version is available. To get the latest version from the support BBS, you
will have to either call the board and request it, or send in a new
REGISTER.FRM. The newest version will then be attached to a message on the
support board.
Registered users will also have the honor of electing the Tampa Bay Football
Hall of Fame. The registration form has a place to vote for your favorite
Tampa Bay Football players. Version 1.1 of DA BUCS will have the first two
members of the Tampa Bay Football Hall of Fame, and each subsequent version
will list a new member. The Tampa Bay Football Hall of Fame will grow as
long as registered users continue to nominate players.
See the registration form (REGISTER.FRM) for more registration information.
