This is the SHAREWARE Registration information for some P.C
Softsmith software. This information is subject to change
without notice in future distributions. When you register
please clearly state what you want and mark what you are
registering. One choice is to simply add your name and
address to this, edit it, and print it, circle or highlight
the correct selection, then mail the results. You can do the
same with email and some cutting and pasting. Written
comments and suggestions will always be gratefully accepted.
We normally do not ship hard copy manuals. Registered users
can ask for the most up-to-date version of Hands On, and can
receive it and more technical information.
We are normally shipping a local and restricted distribution
version with more advanced features than normal registered or
non registered version. You can ask for a copy when you
register. As an aging indicator, any version on the ASP CDROM
is likely two or three months behind our current distribution
and vendor or BBS lag may add another month. The
Ziff-Davis/PBS time lag also seems to be 3 or 4 months. The
history section in README.TXT roughly shows the Hands On
upgrade frequency.
You have to communicate your needs with us, not a disk vendor
or other agency. Yes, if you register and you ask we will
ensure that you get the latest version. Its quite possible
for you to register with someone else, and find later that we
have never heard of you (everybody can goof).
The registration amounts are for U.S. Dollars, or Canadian
The REGISTER.txt - Registration Page 2
equivalent. Please note that U.S. Dollar Postal Money Orders
are generally the most convenient way to directly exchange and
send currency to us. The bulk of our European registrations
arrive in the form of cash. The prices are applicable for any
portion or all of Hands On.
ASIS $50 As is where is. Licensed for one simultaneous link
between 1 host and 10 remotes, or 1 remote and 10 hosts.
NORMAL $60 Shipped updated complete package. Licensed for one
simultaneous link between 1 host and 10 remotes, or 1 remote
and 10 hosts.
PROFESSIONAL $100 Shipped updated complete package. Licensed
for one simultaneous link between one host and any of an
unlimited number of remotes, or one remote and an unlimited
number of hosts. Assistance and tools to help multiple site
setup, security, and support. 1 year of free major or
quarterly upgrades.
PARTNER $100 up. If you are a Registered user, you can
negotiate partial or full source code for internal use.
Prices start at $100.
SITE or WORKGROUP LICENCE $500 Shipped updated complete
package. Licensed for any number of simultaneous links
between one particular site and any number of outside users.
The WorkGroup variant encourages a scattered group to work
together on a common task or project. The idea is that the
common task is NOT just 'normal business', and that there will
be instances where sub-groups work together without a common
site.
UPGRADES $20 single. $50 for 3 quarterly updates.
*** NOTE: In each case, one person should be designated as
liaison per licensed copy or site. ***
PLEASE TELL US IF YOU REGISTER WITH SOMEONE. TELL US IF YOU
NEED "EXTRAS", and what you want shipped if anything.
The following is a separate product that we distribute.
People often indicate that they would have preferred to look
at both choices before they opted for one. TeleShare provides
The REGISTER.txt - Registration Page 3
more basic remote control capability than Hands On. Its
simpler and cheaper. For example, the current release does
not include host keyboard locking or a modem database.
TeleShare/DOS basic distribution $35
This assumes one master support center or machine and any
number of machines to be supported. This price is applicable
for any portion or all of the current TeleShare release.
Other materials:
CONSULTING & CUSTOM SERVICES $50 hourly with a two hour
minimum for materials that are not likely to be part of a
product upgrade. This must be arranged directly with us.
We do not believe that one product fits all needs, and can
tailor this product or other tools to meet a variety of
needs. One example is a simple one or two phone line BBS for
specific uses.
ALTERNATE ORDERING AND PAYMENT SCHEMES:
OPTION 1 - Public (software) Library terms
PsL's terms are:
"You can order by sending check, cash or money order to P. C.
Softsmith or with MC, Visa, Amex, or Discover from the Public
(software) Library by calling 1-800-2424-PsL or 713-524-6394
or by FAX to 1-713-524-6398 or by CIS Email to 71355,470.
These numbers are for orders only. To insure that you get the
latest version, PsL will notify us the day of your order and
we will ship the product directly to you. Any questions about
the status of the shipment of the order, refunds, registration
options, product details, technical support, volume discounts,
dealer pricing, site licenses, etc, must be directed to P. C.
Softsmith (see below). You can also mail credit card orders
to PsL at P.O.Box 35705, Houston, TX, USA, 77235-5705."
Please note that the Public (software) Library will normally
be selling disks with the latest version, and we will assume
that you have the latest version unless you specifically ask
for an update and utilities with Hands On. If you can order
from PSL and email/mail us at P. C. Softsmith with any
The REGISTER.txt - Registration Page 4
technical/support details you will get the best overall
service. Note that you cannot talk to us and order from PsL
through us; the two procedures are separate. We can discuss
upgrades, timing, and so on, with you but the PsL people
cannot. Talk to us at P. C. Softsmith but pay them at PsL.
Please figure on adding $4 for shipping and handling with the
PsL option.
If you just want a 'test drive' copy, order from it PsL (and
ask them for a copy of their monthly magazine/catalogue).
OPTION 2 - via Compuserve
You can use Compuserve to register. Hands On is registered as
#4509, and you "GO SWREG" to go through the registration
process. It can take a month or so for us to learn that you
have registered. Send us email about the registration, and
ask for any 'extras' that you want.
OPTION 3 - P. C. Softsmith terms, and general support
Or you may send your name and address and U.S. funds, or
Canadian equivalent to
P.C. Softsmith
Suite 606 - 6455 Willingdon Avenue,
Burnaby, British Columbia,
Canada, V5H 4E4
Postal, International Money Orders, and cheques (checks) are
gladly accepted, but no VISA, MC, or AMEX at this time.
Send cash by registered mail or wrap it securely.
For technical support, either email, write, or call (604)
433-5189. We offer enhanced (in time and depth) support for
registered users. We will now help people evaluate the
product but will no longer support indefinite 'evaluations'.
