When you register, print this page on your printer. Circle or mark what you
are paying for and send it in with your order.
All payments must be in cash, check, or money order, in U.S. currency. If
outside U.S., include $3 extra for postage. (NOTE: All checks must have
routing numbers at the bottom of them, to avoid processing charges.)
When you register, include the Serial Number of the Uedit you are using. You
can see the serial number by selecting "Show vals" in the menu.
Uedit registration is $45. When you register, you will receive:
* a registered user Serial Number.
* $15 sales commissions for finding new users.
* the latest Uedit-Share diskette which can be freely distributed.
* the latest Non-Shareware Uedit which can be fully customized.
* Extras, configs and utilities to use with Uedit. (See Extras below.)
* full Uedit documentation on diskette.
* automatic notice of new upgrades.
* 30-day satisfaction guarantee or full refund.
WHEN registering (only):
* To receive the next upgrade automatically, $15.
Registered users:
* 2 diskettes, latest Shareware and Non-Shareware Uedit & manual, $23.
* Uedit Quarterly Newsletter for one year, $12.
Anybody, registered or non-registered:
* The latest Uedit-Share diskette, $10.
If you purchased a pre-V1.7 Uedit commercially, you can register by sending
your original, purchased disk and $23.
As a registered user, you will earn a $15 commission each time somebody
registers off your serial numbered copy of Uedit.
The quarterly Newsletter discusses new upgrades and features, editing tricks,
new commands, configs created by users, frequently asked questions,
complaints and requested features, plans for future upgrades, bugs, and other
topics.
(BUG NOTE: Uedit has the handy feature of letting you Ctrl-click-load any
filename in any buffer. However, early versions of the C Ltd TimeSaver block
out the ctrl-mouseclick input. In order for Ctrl-click-loading to work, you
must remove your C Ltd TimeSaver completely. Turning it off won't do.)

Distributing Uedit
I really do encourage you to give away copies of your Uedit-Share diskette.
When you give away copies, you must observe the following restrictions:
*** You must distribute ALL of Uedit's Shareware files together:
Cheat-Sheet Config! Data! Help!
NoName.info Uedit-Policy Uedit-ReadMe UES
UES.info Key-Help
*** You must NOT MODIFY any files except for putting your serial number
into UES.
*** You must NOT distribute copies of UE or the printed or diskette Manual
or Uedit's command language documentation.
*** You MUST use Uedit COPYRIGHT notices on Uedit files.
*** You MUST use Uedit TRADEMARK notices on "Uedit".
You may include your own files along with Uedit, put files on several
diskettes, distribute files via modem, or compress files, as long as their
contents remain unchanged.
You may print, copy, and distribute the Help!, Cheat-Sheet and other text
files on your Uedit-Share diskette.
Amiga clubs may want to encourage their members to register off the club's
registered copy, as a good way to earn money for the club.
NOTE: Do NOT tell people to register by subtracting your commission from the
amount they send in. This is Important: If I allow people to subtract off
the commission, users can be cheated out of commissions they are entitled to.
You must give them a signed note to include when they register or contact me
personally, so that I have got proof that you are waiving your commission.
Please EARN commissions! In distributing Uedit and encouraging new
registrations, you will be supporting good programming for Amiga Shareware.
And your feedback is important too. Most of the improvements in Uedit since
the beginning have been in response to feedback from its users.
Revision Numbering
When a new revision comes out, the old revision number is incremented by 0.1.
Thus, if the current revision is V2.3, the next upgrade will be V2.4.
When bugs are found in a new release, the fixed version will have a letter of
the alphabet appended to the revision number. Thus, when V2.2 came out and
bugs were fixed, the fixed version became V2.2a. When more fixes were
required, the new fixed version became V2.2b. And so on.
If you own a version such as V2.3 and bugs are found in it and a version
V2.3a is released, you can obtain V2.3a by sending in your V2.2a diskettes
and $2 or a self addressed, stamped diskette mailer.

Uedit and Shareware
Shareware is a generous, trusting concept which treats you like an honest
person, rather than presuming that you are not, as, for instance, copy
protection does.
Shareware programs have got to be superior, because you get to try them out
thoroughly at home or in the office before buying them. Many commercial
programs would not survive this acid test.
You are allowed to try out a Shareware program for as long as you require, in
order to decide whether you are going to use it or not.
When "trying out" becomes "using", you are obliged to pay for the program.
Only then does the Shareware author get paid for his work and expenses for
creating the program you are using.
Uedit depends entirely upon:
* Your sense of self responsibility.
* Your cooperation in safeguarding Uedit's Shareware "hooks" and
protections, by not distributing its Non-Shareware files.
* Your assistance in finding new support.
Thank you for supporting Uedit in Shareware!
**************************************
Here are the Extras on Uedit's diskettes (Note: These are not being sold by
me, they are shareware or public domain and are merely included on Uedit's
diskettes as extras. Your payment is strictly for Uedit, not for these.):
* Hayes Haugen's BlitzFonts ($10) shareware program that speeds up text
displaying. (Speed up the text on your Amiga and send Hayes $10
to get his improved version!)
* Tom Althoff's turbo-C config for Aztec C (tm).
* John Smith's Modula-2 config.
* Kurt Wessel's UStar config, emulates WordStar(tm) and Scribble!(tm)
* UE-DU Directory Utility config which uses V2.1 or later.
* Spooler, print spooler.
* D, directory program.
* CRC, data checker program.
* SetFont and doc by Dave Haynie.
* Hard disk backup utility & source code by Charles Carter.
* SetKeyDemo, demo of Charles Carter's SetKey, keymaps for Ed, Z & CLI.
* Transactor Magazine's Tiny Window Manager by Nick Sullivan.
Uedit's diskettes are packed. Soon a second Extras diskette will be offered.
Send in your configs, if you want them included in the Extras.
