ZIPPER W-2, Version 1.0 -- INCENTIV.DOC
This file describes various incentives provided to the user by SOFTCRAFT,
the author of ZIPPER W-2, and several other vendors. The purpose of these
incentives is to encourage user registrations of shareware.
We hope that you have found ZIPPER W-2 to be a quality product. The amount
of design, programming, testing, and documentation that has gone into this
product over the years is quite extensive. We at SOFTCRAFT do not receive a
single penny for any of this work unless users pay us the registration fee.
Paying the registration fee is your way of acknowledging this work, and
paying what you honestly and legally owe. We wouldn't expect you to pay for
this program unless you actually use it. The shareware concept allows you
to fully evaluate software to see if it meets your needs before paying for
it. It's the ultimate money back guarantee, but it relies on the honesty
and integrity of individual users just like you. Shareware can not be
successful if users don't pay authors.
We would like to "sweeten the pot" just a little more. We'll start by
reminding you that by paying your registration fee you will receive the
following benefits:
■ The satisfaction of knowing you are helping to support past and future
development of a quality product;
■ Technical support for one full year;
■ A printed users manual;
■ 8 free W-2 forms (4, 6, 8 part, or Twin Set 6, or 8 part);
■ A free W-3 Summary form;
■ Lower Quantity (Lower Cost) additional forms and envelopes;
■ Current program diskette(s), bug fixes, and improvements;
■ Unlimited access to the SOFTCRAFT BBS (and our shareware collection);
AND
■ You get rid of that nagging screen that shows up every time ZIPPER W-2
starts and stops.
Now those are all good reasons to pay the registration fee. You can print
the file ORDER.DOC, or you can print a registration form from within ZIPPER
Payroll. Send it along with $29.00 to SOFTCRAFT, and you will receive all
the benefits listed above, AND the following:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) From SOFTCRAFT, a $20.00 discount off of the regular $67.00 registration

most shareware disk vendors, online services, or BBS's. You can purchase
the most current shareware version directly from SOFTCRAFT for $7.00; just
send your check with a note indicating which media size you prefer.
If you have a modem, you can get a FREE copy of the current shareware
version of ZIPPER Payroll by connecting directly to the SOFTCRAFT BBS. Call
(206) 337-7868 (Running Wildcat, Version 4, at 14,400 8/N/1), log in as
"Guest User" (without the quotes), and use "ZIPPER" (without the quotes) as
the password. Select (F)iles, select (D)ownload, and enter the file name

(2) From SOFTCRAFT, 8 FREE W-2 forms, a FREE W-3 Summary form, AND
additional W-2 forms in smaller quantities, to use with your registered copy
of ZIPPER W-2.
Take a look at the cost of W-2 forms from most retailers. First, you may
notice that the smallest quantity of forms you can buy is 25. The cost for
that many forms may be $25.00 or more -- just a few dollars less (in some
cases more) then your cost for ZIPPER W-2. If you have 8 or fewer W-2 forms
to process, then your registration of ZIPPER W-2 will be your total cost for
end of year Wage and Tax Statements. What a deal! In the event you need
additional forms, they can be purchased from SOFTCRAFT in smaller numbers
than available from major suppliers. For more information see the on-disk
file FORMS.DOC. This offer available only at the time you register ZIPPER
W-2.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
(3) From CompuServe Information Service, a free introductory membership and
$15.00 usage credit.

(4) From Support Group, Inc., a free evaluation copy of TAPCIS, The Access
Program for the CompuServe Information System.
We'll send you a fully functional (shareware) copy of TAPCIS. This is an
evaluation copy that you are free to use for 20 days. It's shareware, so
once again, you'll get to try it before you buy it, and pay for it only if
you use it. If you continue to use TAPCIS after the evaluation period, you
must pay the registration fee to Support Group, Inc.
As another registration incentive, Support Group, Inc. is offering you a

(5) From Genesoft -- PC-Punch Gold for ONLY $99.95 (Regularly $299.98) More
than a 65% discount
A time & attendance PC software package that is IDEAL for ZIPPER Payroll.
As another registration incentive, Genesoft will send you, if you prefer, a
WORKING DEMO of PC-Punch Gold for ONLY $5.00 (Regularly $10.00)
PC-Punch Gold offers you capabilities unmatched by electromechanical time
clocks costing upward of $1,500.00. Tedious hour calculations are performed
automatically with astonishing speed and exacting accuracy. PC-Punch Gold's
comprehensive timecard reports allow you to scrutinize labor costs
throughout the pay period, adjust scheduling to minimize overtime and
premium hours, and keep labor costs under control. Handles weekly,
biweekly, and semimonthly payroll with multiple-password protection. BEST
OF ALL, the separated reporting of regular, overtime1, overtime2, vacation,
sick, and holiday hours make entering ZIPPER Payroll hours a breeze. "The
difference between working more hours and making your hours work more is PC-
Punch Gold."
Discover why large and small companies prefer PC-Punch Gold. A partial list

in) or the F8 Key (punch out) and enter his/her ID code or SSAN. The
software does the rest! A bar code reader can also be used, in addition to
the keyboard, to further simplify the process.

(6) Unlimited access to the shareware collection on the SOFTCRAFT BBS.
The SOFTCRAFT BBS provides an additional means of technical support.
Registered users have the ability to send Electronic Mail and request
technical support on our BBS. Although most users prefer technical support
by phone, some users like the electronic method. This type of support, like
the support we provide via CompuServe E-mail, is available 24 hours a day.
At SOFTCRAFT we have a superb collection of shareware programs on disk and
CD-ROM. This software is some of the best around, including the full
collection of software produced by author members of The Association of
Shareware Professionals. As a registered user of ZIPPER W-2, you may have
unlimited access to this software. There is no access fee for the BBS, and
there are no charges to download any of these files. They are yours,
absolutely free! Your only cost to obtain any program on our BBS will be
your phone charges for the period you are connected.
Please remember, these are shareware programs, and your continued use of
shareware requires a registration payment to the author. Each program
varies in cost (registration fee), and each author grants you specific rights
to test and evaluate his / her product. This information is normally
included with every program.
