How to Register How to Register How to Register UUPC/extended _________ Appendix _________ Appendix _________ Appendix _ 2 _ 2 _ 2_______________________________ : How to Register UUPC/extended _______________________________ : How to Register UUPC/extended _______________________________ : How to Register UUPC/extended Why You Should Register Why You Should Register Why You Should Register UUPC/extended UUPC/extended UUPC/extended Kendra Electronic Wonderworks now offers the opportunity for you to register your copy of UUPC/extended. Here's why: Three years of work have gone into it here at the Wonderworks. This is a non-trivial amount. Most of the e-mail received outside the KEW.COM domain is now related to UUPC/extended. This, combined with the major intra-domain e-mail requirements68 for KEW.COM having gone away, threatens to make UUPC/extended its own perpetual motion machine: we maintain UUPC/extended to stay in touch with the outside world, and the outside world sends us mail about maintaining UUPC/extended. It is an accepted fact that the original UUPC was not written by Kendra Electronic Wonderworks, and that others have written numerous features. What is not as clear is the work done here which goes into integrating and polishing these features. Because of work done here, people can take the work done all over the world and use it by unpacking a few files. Ryder rents trucks, Avis tries harder, MIT wins the Yale/Harvard game, and Kendra Electronic Wonderworks hunts bugs. Lots of bugs: bugs from the dawn of UUPC, bugs from other people's code, and even bugs we introduced (OOPS). A second system is maintained here primarily for providing downloading services to others via anonymous UUCP and for hunting bugs. Only RAID kills more bugs. We also integrate bug fixes from other people, so those few files we give to others to unpack not only have more features but also bug fixes. Bug hunting can be a bitch, and writing documentation is worse. Kendra Electronic Wonderworks has done both gratis for two years. Beginning with release 1.11m, the documentation has been expanded, and will be further enhanced to make the package easier to use. This does not benefit the internal users; we know how it works, and don't need the documents. 68The owner of kendra.kew.com married the owner of athena.kew.com in October, 1992. The transcontinental UUPC/extended link previously used by the happy couple has been replaced by an Ethernet. Send congratulations to binkley@kew.com, our resident ether bunny. 10/04/93 - 165 - UUPC/extended 1.12b Installation and Installation and Installation and User's Reference User's Reference User's Reference Because if you register, we can buy more chocolate ice cream for Snuffles. The short version of the above is you have the package; what you can optionally pay for is additional enhancements and support by the creatures most knowledgeable about UUPC/extended. However, However, However, we would rather you used an unregistered copy of our package than used someone else's inferior package. -166- 10/04/93 How to Register How to Register How to Register UUPC/extended And as an added bonus And as an added bonus And as an added bonus Send us anything and Snuffles will think you're wonderful. Send us $20 and you can call us for telephone support at the UUPC/extended support telephone number [(617) 641-3452] for 18 months. We'll even return your phone calls in the United States. Send us $40 and you can use the support number for 18 months. When available, we'll also mail the next major release of UUPC/extended on floppies. Send us $50 and you can use support number for 18 months, we'll mail the next major release of UUPC/extended when available, and we'll throw in a hard copy of the documentation. Send us $100 and you can use the support number for 18 months, we'll mail the next major release of UUPC/extended, throw in a hard copy of the documentation, and have you committed to the sanitarium of your choice. Corporations cannot be committed to sanitariums, but we will take your money. Use the above schedule for each contact person, and add $10 for each additional node supported. For example, XYZ Systems Corp. has one contact person who calls the Wonderworks for support and needs the next release and hard copy documents ($50), and one backup contact at a secondary location ($20). They want the docs so that they can distribute them to 10 different UUPC nodes scattered around the company ($10 each). The primary contact person figures out how to get a contribution to Snuffles' Chocolate Ice Cream Fund ($1) past accounting. XYZ Systems would thus send us a check for $171. We will invoice corporations on request. Corporations wishing to register 100 or more nodes should contact us for large site pricing.
