TO: Active Licensed SPITFIRE Sysops
Greetings:
Buffalo Creek Software is pleased to announce that we are
beginning to take upgrade orders for SPITFIRE v3.3. As usual,
this upgrade of SPITFIRE is FREE. While this upgrade is free,
there is (in certain instances) a minimal shipping & handling
fee (see below). SPITFIRE v3.3 is NOT finished and it is not
ready for release. We are simply beginning to take orders at
this time for your convenience. Please do not leave messages
asking when it will be released. It will be released when it is
completed.
There are far too many improvements and additions in this
version of SPITFIRE to list them. However, there is a file on
Buffalo Creek's BBS named WHATSNEW.33 which lists the
improvements and additions. I would like to quickly mention
that the new <S>huffle File feature and <L>akota (QWK mail door)
are just two very nice additions found within SPITFIRE v3.3.
Please find attached a SPITFIRE upgrade request & order
form. You must complete and return the form with the
appropriate shipping & handling fee (if any) before we will
process your upgrade order. All shipping orders will be handled
in the order in which they are received first and then the
download orders will be processed in the order in which they are
received. NO UPGRADE ORDERS WILL BE TAKEN IN THE MESSAGE BASE
ON THE BBS!! Any such message orders will not be answered but
will be erased. We are sorry if this seems like a harsh policy,
but time constraints make it impossible to handle the number of
messages generated by this upgrade.
Buffalo Creek Software makes updating as painless and
inexpensive as possible. Listed below are the three (3)
different means to upgrade from SPITFIRE v3.2 to SPITFIRE v3.3.
1) In the event you should choose to download your licensed
copy of SPITFIRE v3.3, your copy will be processed after
all shipping orders have been processed. When your
licensed copy of SPITFIRE is ready for download, you will
be notified by postcard and you will then have 15 days to
make your download. Please do not leave a message about
downloading your copy of SPITFIRE v3.3 because answering
those messages only slows the process down. Your free
copy of SPITFIRE v3.3 will only be compiled for download
once for no charge. In the event you fail to make a
backup and you lose your copy of SPITFIRE v3.3, fail to
make the download in the allotted 15 day period, fail to
properly perform the download or otherwise require a
second compilation of SPITFIRE v3.3, there will be a
$20.00 charge for recompiling your copy.
2) Buffalo Creek Software will mail you your licensed copy of
SPITFIRE v3.3. The shipping & handling fee is $10.00 for
either 5 1/4" diskettes or for a 3 1/2" diskette. If you
are outside the North American continent, then the
shipping & handling fee is $20.00. If you fail to specify
which size diskette(s) you require, we will ship
your licensed copy of SPITFIRE v3.3 on 3.5 inch disks.
3) Buffalo Creek Software will mail you your licensed copy of
SPITFIRE v3.3 with a new manual. The shipping & handling
fee is $20.00 for either 5 1/4" diskettes or for a 3 1/2"
diskette. If you are outside the North American
continent, then the shipping and handling fee is $30.00.
If you fail to specify which size diskette(s) you require,
we will ship your licensed copy of SPITFIRE v3.3 on 3.5"
disks.
These upgrade procedures do NOT apply to persons that are
not licensed to operate SPITFIRE v3.2 and/or persons who are not
operating SPITFIRE. Further, to be eligible for these upgrade
procedures you must have your account paid to date with Buffalo
Creek Software. In other words, if you registered SPITFIRE v3.1
but did not upgrade to v3.2, you are not entitled to the above
upgrade offer. This policy was not implemented to make things
difficult but rather to simplify things for you as well as for
us here at Buffalo Creek Software. It is much too difficult, if
not impossible, to update if versions have been skipped. We
take this opportunity to thank you for your continued support
and promotion of SPITFIRE and other Buffalo Creek Software
products. Our small company is growing rapidly and we credit
you for this growth.
Please accept this as a request for you to take the time to
make a note on the back side of the blue upgrade form to let us
know if you plan to attend the 1993 SPITFIRE Sysops Conference
to be held (TENTATIVELY) June 19, 20 & 21. Further, since the
conference will be conducted in a workshop format, any
suggestions regarding content and/or speakers will be welcome at
this time.
Looking forward to receiving your order and with best
wishes, I am,
Sincerely yours,
Ann Woltz
