INTRODUCTION
────────────
This file, REGISTER.DOC, contains Power registration information,
fees, ordering instructions. You can print out the Registration
Form (it's also an invoice) via Main Menu item 12 from within
Power. The program lets you fill in the blanks in the form and
computes your total cost for you based on your selections. You
can order a registered version of Power by credit card through
phone numbers and addresses listed below. With other forms of
payment, you can send me the printed Registration Form directly.
For additional information on Power, see the README.1ST file
contained in the archive.
Please note: Main Menu item 12 (Register) is the only way that
the order form can be filled in and printed out.
There is no order form here or in any of the
documentation.

SHAREWARE REGISTRATION AND LICENSE FEES
───────────────────────────────────────
30-DAY EVALUATION PERIOD IS FREE.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You may use Power for the first 30 days free of charge, under the
terms of the TRIAL USE LICENSE in file LICENSE.DOC. After this
30-day evaluation period, if you continue to use it, please
purchase a registered copy from me by paying the license fee.
LICENSE FEE
~~~~~~~~~~~
The single user (personal license) fee is $49 for the program,
plus shipping and applicable sales tax for residents of Maryland.
Site licenses are available with quantity discounts as shown in
file SITELICE.DOC. Source code is not available.
WHAT YOU GET WHEN YOU REGISTER
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When I receive your registration order, I will send you a
diskette with the latest copy of the program in a self-extracting
archive, a printed copy of the User's Manual, and your personal
registration information on the bottom status bar in the program
screen (mandatory), along with the Serial Number. Mail support,
BBS support, and CompuServe E-mail support for 90 days are given.
Registered users will receive notices of future upgrades when
available at a reduced cost. The size of your new Power program,
when you receive it in the diskette, will be approximately 57Kb
smaller because the Register item selection in the Main Menu is
not included in the registered version.
BRANDING
~~~~~~~~
Part of the registration process is the branding of your software
with either your personal name or the name of the company of your
choice. If you wish, you can give such specific names as "GSFC
Engineering Department" (GSFC for Goddard Space Flight Center) or
your personal initials. The brand name must include the company
name or its initials, or your personal name or initials. For
example, the name "Engineering Department" is not acceptable.
Personal initials, if used, should match the first letters of the
name listed on the invoice as the recipient of the software
license.
I have provided a prompt in reverse-video for entering your brand
name in the Register function of the Main Menu (item 12) for this
purpose. If this entry is blank, the company name you specify in
2
the company name prompt (part of your address entry) will be
used. If this is also blank, the name of the person in the
address (in the invoice) will be used.
There is no extra cost for branding.
WHERE/HOW TO REGISTER
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For best results, run the Main Menu item 12 (Register). Power
will calculate and itemize the total cost automatically,
including quantity discounts and sales tax. You can also select
payment methods and addresses to send your remittance to. The
complete information can be printed as an invoice. Send this
form to me with your remittance (after approval from the
accounting department, if required). If you want to place a
credit card order, you still need this printed form so you can
tell the operator all the data needed, including the Sales Code
printed on the form. In this case, you may use one of the
registration methods shown in the next few pages, as appropriate
to you. The same information is given in Main Menu item 12
(Register).
Before placing a credit card order, first type in the blanks in
the Power Main Menu item 12, then print it out and give the
operator the Sales Code listed on the print-out. Make sure you
give the operator the spelling of the name (31 characters long)
to be used in your license (mandatory).
If you want to make a comment about Power, you can send me the
Commentary Form printed via Main Menu item 12 directly to me.
NOTE: Company Site Users must sign the License
Agreement (see LICENSE.DOC file) and send it by
mail direct to the author. The company may
elect to issue their own agreement and send it
to me for consideration. See the file
SITELICE.DOC for quantity discounts.
NOTE: If you are ordering by credit card, please do
not send me the order form. Call them, or send
it to the address shown on the print-out. The
same information is given below.

TERMS
─────
CREDIT CARD ORDERS for single-user licenses are placed through
phone or CompuServe mail as shown below, or by FAX or postal mail
shown earlier in this file. CHECKS OR MONEY ORDERS must be in US
funds drawn only on a US bank. Send CASH only by registered
mail. Cashier/certified checks, cash, money order, and credit
card orders are processed WITHIN 48 HOURS of receipt.
You, the individual user, are bound by the terms and conditions
of the PERSONAL or SITE SOFTWARE LICENSE (see LICENSE.DOC file)
even if you do not sign the license (the company must sign this
site license). When you register for Power, you agree to this.
This is for the protection of both the user and the author.
NOTE: Personal checks may be subject to a bank clearance delay
before shipment is made. This is typically 7 days for an
out-of-state check.
COMPANY OR AGENCY PURCHASE ORDERS. Orders under $100 must be
prepaid. Purchase orders for amounts of $100 and over are
accepted from established companies. Have your purchasing agent
contact me for terms.

FAST! CONVERSION TO REGISTERED VERSION BY PHONE
─────────────────────────────────────────────────
If you want to convert your shareware version of Power to the
registered version over the phone FAST, here's how.
You indicate on the order form (on the last page of the order
form) your desire to have me call you as soon as I receive your
order (by mail direct to me or through other means as provided
above). I will then give you instructions over the phone so that
your software will be registered in your name with a unique
serial number automatically generated. This will take only a
minute or so. I will then ship you the Power Manual by mail, and
you will have a registered version of Power to use while waiting
for the manual to reach you. This saves both of us time. Of
course, this is useful if there is no current upgrade; if the new
upgrade is available, I will be sending it to you by mail along
with the manual.
Please note:
Company checks sent to me by mail will be accepted immediately,
but out-of-state personal checks will require a bank clearance
period of about 7 days before I call you to give you the
instructions. This does not apply if you order by credit card.
If you want to avoid this snag and get a faster response, use
only a certified check or money order. Cash is okay, if you hide
it well; but this incurs risk on your part.
Please note:
The offer for FAST! registration by phone is not valid for
multiple quantity diskettes or multiple-site licenses. Serial
numbers must be individually assigned.
