  56. WHY SHOULD I REGISTER ???
  57. -------------------------
  58.  
  59.   Many people tacitly regard "Shareware" distributed software as "free".  This
  60. is not true.  There is also the inclination to "let the other guy register."  As
  61. a result, very few users bothered to register.
  62.  
  63.   A registration form is contained at the end of this manual.  We have
  64. continually upgraded and supported this program since 1988. In return, we
  65. greatly appreciate your support by registering the programs if you use it.  
  66.  
  67.   Registration will bring you more POP-UP categories and more POP-UPS per
  68. category!
  69.  
  70. Thank you in advance for your registration.
