                         World Best TSR  version 1.43

                            Worldwide registration.

You may pay for registration in any currency that can legally be sent by
mail from your country of residence. Most governments impose no restriction.
National central bank currency notes only. No coins.

You may pay in a mixture of currencies. Use up those small amounts of
currency left over from foreign travel! To help you put together the correct
combination, the spreadsheet file CURRENCY.WKS is provided. Most popular
spreadsheet programs can read the .WKS format. If you have no spreadsheet
program, the shareware product AS-EASY-AS is recommended.


                       How to calculate exchange rates

Rates quoted in financial journals are money market central rates.
The rates in the "Units/$US" column of CURRENCY.WKS are central rates
per U.S. dollar. The cost of registration in your currency is 25 times your
currency's central rate/$US.
Example:
   International registration costs US$25.
   The Wall Street Journal gives a rate of 3.99-4.01 for the Ruritanian Dinar.
   In CURRENCY.WKS we enter 4.00 for Ruritania.
   The cost of registration for Ruritanians is 25*4.00 = 100 dinars.

Rates quoted in popular newspapers are tourist rates.
Most tourist rates are about 4% worse than the central rate.
Example:
   At Ruritania airport the exchange bureau charges RD1040 for US$250 .
   The central rate is 4% less: RD1000 for $250 or 4.00 dinars/dollar.


                            For users paying cash:
               If your currency has no small denomination bills.

In some countries the lowest value banknote is worth $6-$10, so users may not
be able to put together exactly $25. Pay the nearest amount possible.
The price of your low cost upgrade to version 2 will be adjusted to compensate.

Make sure your payment is worth at least $22, or you will not qualify for full
support. Users whose payment is worth $26 or more can request a refund in U.S.
$1 bills. Occasionally it will be possible to make refunds in other currencies.
Mention any countries that you expect to visit. Refunds will be paid as soon as
banknotes are available. $1 bills are sometimes difficult to obtain in England.
If no refund of an overpayment is requested, a credit note will be issued.


                  An Example of the spreadsheet CURRENCY.WKS

In the example below, the spreadsheet shows that you can pay the
registration fee of US$25 by sending:

      13 US dollars
     300 Greek Drachmas
     200 Portugese Escudos
and   12 Swiss Francs

The rates "Units per $US" were correct 27 September 1992.
Because of exchange rate fluctuations, you may need to alter these.
You may use other currencies than those shown.
Change entries in the "Country", "Unit", and "Units per $US" columns
to accommodate the currencies you have.

If you know the exchange rates relative to you own currency, you can put
these in the "units per local unit" column and the rates per dollar will be
calculated automatically.
To make this work, you MUST put the number of US dollars per unit of your
currency into the cell where row="USA",column="units per local unit".
The entire spreadsheet depends on this value.

Set all "Amount of currency" values to zero, then put whatever banknotes
you have in the "Amount of currency" column until the total of the "Amount
in US$" column is as close as possible to 25.00 .
