1. Shareware License and Registration
BOOT.SYS is copyrighted software - it is not free and it is not
in the public domain; please see the file LICENSE.DOC in the
installation directory for the details of your license to try out
BOOT.SYS. In short, you may try out the unregistered version free
of charge for 30 days. If you wish to continue using BOOT.SYS
beyond the initial trial period, you must order a registered
copy. This method of software distribution is known as Shareware.
ASP Ombudsman Statement
Hans Salvisberg is a member of the Association of Share-
ware Professionals (ASP). ASP wants to make sure that
the shareware principle works for you. If you are unable
to resolve a shareware-related problem with an ASP member
by contacting the member directly, ASP may be able to
help. The ASP Ombudsman can help you resolve a dispute or
problem with an ASP member, but does not provide techni-
cal support for members' products. Please write to the
ASP Ombudsman at 545 Grover Road, Muskegon, MI 49442 or
send a CompuServe message via CompuServe Mail to ASP
Ombudsman 70007,3536.
Registration entitles you to the following benefits:
* A license to use BOOT.SYS on as many computers as you've paid
for. Please see the file LICENSE.DOC for the details of the
registered version license.
* A disk with the current version of BOOT.SYS
* A printed and bound manual
* A special utility program that lets you transfer your license
to any later shareware versions of BOOT.SYS that you may
obtain from any shareware source (getting an upgrade from the
author requires new registration).
* Free support (by electronic mail or by mail) directly from
the author for the first 90 days after payment, consisting of
answering questions and fixing any reproducible program
error(s) that interfere(s) with the intended use of the pro-
gram as outlined in the documentation. The author may choose
not to fix problems related to a special hardware and/or
software configuration and will then arrange for a refund of
the registration fee, if the problem is reported within 90
days of payment. The author makes no other warranties,
expressed or implied, and this warranty is expressly limited
to the cost of the registration fee.
* BOOT.SYS is publicly supported on CompuServe in the DOS Uti-
lities section of the IBMSYS forum. A free CompuServe Intro-
Pak, which includes a $15.00 usage credit, is available to
registered BOOT.SYS users who do not yet subscribe to
CompuServe. CompuServe will open the door for a whole new
world of information, services, and interesting people. Com-
puServe is also the best place to obtain technical support
for products from Salvisberg Software & Consulting (and many
other developers and vendors). The CompuServe IntroPak (a
$39.95 value) is provided to registered BOOT.SYS users
courtesy of CompuServe, Inc., and the ASP. This offer is
dependent on its continued availability from CompuServe, Inc.
Note: All prices and terms are subject to change without notice.
There are no quantity discounts available for BOOT.SYS, because
it does not make sense to purchase a large number of single-PC
licenses. However, site licenses for installing BOOT.SYS on mul-
tiple computers are available starting at 2 PCs. Please refer to
the accompanying file SITELICE.DOC for details.
2. How to Order BOOT.SYS
You can order BOOT.SYS from:
- The publisher Salvisberg Software in Switzerland at SFR 70.-
+ s&h: All payment must be done in Swiss Francs. The easiest
way to transfer funds is by credit card. You authorize us to
charge your card for the amount due in SFR and the credit
card company will automatically convert to your currency
using the current exchange rate. We cannot guarantee a fixed
exchange rate or a certain date for the conversion to take
place, but based on our experience the exchange rates do not
vary rapidly.
Alternatively you may send us a postal money order in Swiss
Francs (your local post office does the currency conversion).
- Public software Library in the U.S.A. at $39 + $5/$11 s&h.
They take credit card orders on a toll-free phone number or
written orders accompanied by a check or credit card informa-
tion.
- One of our authorized representatives below at a price
roughly equivalent to SFR 70.- + s&h.

3. Upgrade Information
If you have a registered copy of a previous version of BOOT.SYS,
you can transfer your registration information as follows:
- locate the BOOTREG.COM file in the old version
- change to the new version installation directory
- rename BOOT.EXE to BOOT.COM
- run the old BOOTREG.COM
- rename BOOT.COM back to BOOT.EXE
The new documentation has been rewritten from scratch by Hardin
Brothers and expanded to cover the new features. It is a real
80-page book now, rather than the saddle-stitched brochure it
used to be. So, you may want to consider getting a BOOT.SYS
upgrade (disk and manual, but no new serial number and no utility
to remove the registration reminder). Upgrades are available from
PsL and Salvisberg Software (see order forms below).
4. VARs, OEMs, Consultants, and Resellers
If you are interested in reselling BOOT.SYS, please contact us in
Switzerland to make suitable arrangements. We are very flexible -
here are some of the deals we've made in the past:
- Reseller discounts for single-PC copies, starting at
quantity 2.
- Commissions on multi-system and site licenses. We need the
name and address of the end user and for site licenses (100
PCs or more) we need a written and signed End User Site
License Agreement (see SITELICE.DOC).
- OEM licenses for pre-installing BOOT.SYS with your hardware.
- Licenses for embedding BOOT.SYS in a larger system that
requires a specific configuration or for bundling it with
software.

5. Multi-System Licenses and Site Licenses
Multi-system and site licenses are inexpensive ways for more than
one person to legally use one copy of a program on more than one
computer at a time. They are designed for companies, agencies,
institutions, offices or workgroups where more than one person in
the organization needs to use a product, but does not need addi-
tional manuals or disks. Multi-system and site licensing enables
you to equip your computers with BOOT.SYS at a minimal cost.
If you wish to use BOOT.SYS on 100 PCs or more, we recommend
getting a site license. Please refer to the file SITELICE.DOC for
more information, pricing, and our standard End User Site License
Agreement. The remainer of this present file does not apply to
you.
If you wish to use BOOT.SYS on up to 99 PCs, we recommend getting
a multi-system license under the terms of our License Agreement
(see the file LICENSE.DOC) at these rates:
Number of License Fee Total Fee Fee for Each Total
Computers per Computer Additional number of
Computer manuals

Prices are in Swiss Francs (SFR); prices and terms are current as
of June 1993 and may change without notice.

from Salvisberg Software in Switzerland only.
These prices include one copy of the retail version of BOOT.SYS,
branded to your organization (displaying your organization's name

indicated. You may install BOOT.SYS on up to the licensed number
of computers. Additional manuals are available for a nominal fee.

organization.
