NOTE: The following is registration information for OpenDoors (for
DOS), not for Doors/2! I have included it for the convenience of people
who wish to register Doors/2, but have not yet ordered OpenDoors.
Please see the section on Registration in the DOORS2.DOC for more
information!
IMPORTANT: THIS IS NOT THE REGISTRATION FORM FOR DOORS/2!!! PLEASE SEE
THE SECTION ON REGISTRATION IN DOORS2.DOC FOR AN EXPLANATION OF THIS
FILE!
QUOTED FROM OPENDOOR.TXT:
HOW TO ORDER
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PLEASE Below are detailed instructions for registering OpenDoors.
NOTE These instructions are not intended to be confusing or
complicated; they are simply meant to answer almost any question
that you might have about registering. However, note that it is
probably not necessary for you to worry about whether you are
following these steps to the letter - I'm not that picky. So
long as you send your registration form and fee by some means,
there should not be any difficulty in processing your
registration. If you do have any questions or uncertainties
about your registration, please feel more than free to contact
me. For information on how to contact me, please see page 233.
OpenDoors can be ordered by either mailing the OpenDoors order
form, or online on Compuserve. If you are a Compuserve
subscriber and you wish to order OpenDoors by this means, see
the secton on ordering through Compuserve, on page 19.
Otherwise, follow the following three steps:
1.) Fill out the registration form. Information on filling out
the form is located on page 13.
2.) Send the appropriate payment, $28US/$34CDN/equivalent for
the registration or $56US/$68CDN/equivalent for both the
registration and source code. If you wish more detailed
instructions on sending the registration fee, see the
section that begins page on 15. Included in that section is
a list of equivalent prices for a number of other
countries.
3.) Send the above two items (along with a diskette and
envelope if you are ordering the source code, and wish to
receive it by conventional mail) to me at:
Brian Pirie
Apt. 1416 - 2201 Riverside Dr.
Ottawa, Ontario
Canada
K1H 8K9
If you think you might also be interested in the OpenDoors
source code, be sure to read the section on the source code,
which begins on page 22.
Also, you may wish to send the OpenDoors feedback form (located
on page 21), along with your registration. The feedback form
gives you a chance to tell me what you think of OpenDoors, and
===============================================================================
OpenDoors 5.00 Manual End of Page 11
what changes you would like to see in future versions. In fact,
the majority of suggestions made on these forms in the past have
already been implemented in the current version of OpenDoors.
===============================================================================
OpenDoors 5.00 Manual End of Page 12
FILLING OUT THE REGISTRATION FORM
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you have printed the OpenDoors manual, you can simply remove
and mail the forms on pages 20 and 21. If you have not already
printed a copy of the manual, and you have a printer, you can
quickly print these forms by printing the ORDER.FRM file
included in the OpenDoors distribution archive. (Type COPY
ORDER.FRM PRN from your DOS prompt.)
NO PRINTER? Alternatively, if you do not have a printer, simply send a hand-
written version of the order form.
If you have any special instructions for me, or anything that
you would like to say when you register, feel free to write this
on the back of the registration form, or on a separate piece of
paper.
When filling out the OpenDoors registration form, be sure to
indicate how you would prefer to receive your OpenDoors
registration key and/or source code. The following options are
available:
- Having me send the registration and/or source code
by conventional mail
- Having me call to your BBS
- You calling the OpenDoors support BBS
- FidoNet "CrashMail"
- Internet E-Mail
Once you have decided which means you would prefer to receive
your order by, please read the detailed instructions on your
order method, below. Also, if you are ordering the source code,
please be sure to read the section on ordering the source code,
which begins on page 22.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RECEIVING In order to receive your OpenDoors registration key and/or
ORDER source code by conventional mail, simply fill out the order
BY MAIL form and mail it along with your payment as described below. I
will cover the cost of postage. If you are ordering the source
code (requiring the mailing of a diskette), or your address
contains non-Arabic characters, also enclose a self-addressed
envelope.
If you are also ordering the source code, please be sure to
enclose either a 5-1/4" 360K or 3-1/2" 720K/1.44M floppy disk.
===============================================================================
OpenDoors 5.00 Manual End of Page 13
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RECEIVING In order to receive your OpenDoors registration key and/or
ORDER BY source code by a message and/or upload to your BBS, fill out
CALL TO the order form and mail it along with your payment as described
YOUR BBS below. Be sure to include the phone number, baud rate, and my
login and password for the BBS to which you would like me to
call. As always, I will cover any long distance costs. If, for
some reason, I am unable to connect to your BBS (not because it
is busy, but, for example, if your BBS is no longer online), I
will send your order by conventional mail instead.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RECEIVING You may choose to receive your OpenDoors registration and/or
ORDER BY source code by calling the OpenDoors BBS after your registration
CALLING form and order fee have been received here. If you are unable to
OPENDOORS receive your order by any other electronic means (such as a call
BBS to your BBS, or by electronic mail), this may be the quickest
way for you to recieve your registration information and/or
source code. The obvious disadvantage with to option is the fact
that you will have to estimate when your order will arrive here
in order to receive it as quickly as possible. You may end up
calling the OpenDoors BBS more than once before your order has
arrived. After your order form has arrived, your registration
key and/or source code will be placed on hold for you, and you
will be able to receive it on your first call to the BBS. The
phone number of the BBS is:
+1 613 526 4466
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RECEIVING If you wish to receive your OpenDoors registration key by
ORDER BY Internet E-Mail (including Internet E-Nail to a Compuserve
INTERNET account), fill out the order form and mail it along with your
E-MAIL payment as described below. Be sure to include your e-mail
address on your order form. Note that the source code cannot be
sent via Internet e-mail.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RECEIVING In order to receive your OpenDoors registration key and/or
ORDER BY source code by FidoNet CrashMail, simply fill out the order
FIDONET form and mail it along with your payment as described below.
CRASHMAIL Be sure to include the FidoNet node address to which you wish to
have your registration key and/or source code sent to (via
CrashMail). Again I will cover any long distance costs. If, for
some reason, I am unable to connect to your FidoNet system, I
will send your order by conventional mail instead.
===============================================================================
OpenDoors 5.00 Manual End of Page 14
SENDING YOUR ORDER FEE
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The price of OpenDoors is 34 Canadian Dollars, 28 U.S. Dollars,
or equivalent for the registration. The source code costs an
additional 34 Canadian Dollars, 28 U.S. Dollars, or equivalent.
For your convenience, the equivalent value in a number of other
country's currencies, at the time of this writing, is as
follows:
-----------------------------------------------
REGISTRATION
REGISTRATION ONLY AND SOURCE CODE
-----------------------------------------------
34 Canadian Dollars 68 Canadian Dollars
28 US Dollars 56 US Dollars
18 British Pounds 36 British Pounds
150 French Francs 300 French Francs
44 German Marks 88 German Marks
50 Netherland Gilders 100 Netherland Gilders
39 Australian Dollars 78 Australian Dollars
-----------------------------------------------
This order fee may be payed using any of the following methods:
-Cheque or Money Order in Canadian currency, drawn upon a
Canadian bank. In this case, your order fee will be either
$34CDN for just the registration, or $68CDN for both the
registration and source code.
-Cheque or Money Order in U.S. currency, drawn upon a U.S. bank.
In this case, your order fee will be either $28US for just the
registration, or $56US for both the registration and source
code.
-An International Money Order or International Bank Draft
(available from your bank, post office or organization such as
American Express), in Canadian currency. Depending on the
particular case, your order fee MAY be sent to me by the postal
service, and you will mail your order form by itself. You
should have the money order drawn in either $28CDN for just the
registration, or $56CDN for both the registration and source
code.
-A cheque drawn on any bank in the world, IN THAT COUNTRY'S
CURRENCY, equivalent to 34 Canadian dollars. For instance, a
cheque for the appropriate number of British Pounds, drawn on a
British bank, is perfectly acceptable. However, I am unable to
accept a cheque for $34 Canadian dollars, drawn on a British
Bank.
===============================================================================
OpenDoors 5.00 Manual End of Page 15
-Cash. Please note that it is not usually recommended that cash
be sent in the mail, and that I cannot be responsible for any
cash lost in the mail. Simply put, if you wish to order by
cash, it is your responsibility to get the cash to me. However,
if I do receive your order in the form of cash, it will be
perfectly acceptable to me. I would like to mention that many
people have already ordered OpenDoors by sending cash, and I
have yet to run across any case of cash being lost in the mail.
Nonetheless, if you wish to send cash, you may wish to consider
doing so by registered mail, for your added security.
If you are ordering OpenDoors from within Canada, you will most
likely choose the first option (a Canadian cheque or money
order). If you are ordering OpenDoors from within the United
States, you will most likely choose the second option (an
American cheque or money order). If you are ordering from
outside Canada and the U.S., it would be ideal if you could send
your fee by an international money order. However, it should be
noted that any of the above order methods will be acceptable
from any location. Also, it is quite possible that I may be able
to accept other means of sending your order fee. If you are
unsure about sending your order fee, please feel free to get in
touch with me by any of the means listed on page 233.
===============================================================================
OpenDoors 5.00 Manual End of Page 16
ORDERING THE SOURCE CODE
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are many benefits to also ordering the source code along
with your OpenDoors registration. Ordering the source code will
allow you to customize OpenDoors for your own use, use parts of
the OpenDoors source code in other programs, and learn more
about how OpenDoors works. If you have any ideas for changes
that you would like to see in OpenDoors, either large or small,
ordering the source code will allow you to makes these changes
yourself, creating your own customized version of OpenDoors. You
will be able to remove copyright notices, change the way certain
OpenDoors functions work, or add new capabilities to OpenDoors
in surprisingly little time. You will also be able to use any of
the OpenDoors source code, be it the DesqView-aware code,
EMS/disk swapping routines, configuration file system,
communications routines, or anything else, in any other programs
that you may wish to write. Also, ordering the OpenDoors source
code will allow you to learn more about how OpenDoors works, and
how to program communications software, door programs, BBS
utilities, and so on.
As mentioned before, registered users may order the OpenDoors
source code for an additional $28, either at the same time you
register OpenDoors, or separately. If you wish to order the
OpenDoors source code, simply indicate on your order form that
you wish to order both your OpenDoors registration, and your
source code, and include the additional fee for ordering the
source code.
When you order the OpenDoors source code, you will receive the
source code package. The source code package includes all of the
source code, with the exception of the registration key decoding
algorithm. This small piece of code is instead included in the
form of .OBJect files, one for each memory model. The source
code package also includes a short "Source Code Manual", with a
description of how the OpenDoors source code is organized,
instructions on how to recompile the source code, and more. In
addition, the source code package includes a full set of batch
files for automatically re-compiling the OpenDoors libraries.
REQUIREMENTS In order to re-compile the OpenDoors source code, you must be
using a Borland compiler that supports inline assembly language
keywords. This includes Turbo C++ or Borland C++ 2.0 or later.
Also, as with your OpenDoors registration, when you order the
OpenDoors source code, you are entitled to receive all future
versions of the source code.
===============================================================================
OpenDoors 5.00 Manual End of Page 17
IMPORTANT If you wish to order the source code there are a few important
things which you should note. First of all, if you choose to
receive your source code by mail (as opposed to upload to your
BBS, or FidoNet CrashMail), be sure to enclose a Double-Density
5-1/4" diskette with mailing envelope, or either Double-Density
or High-Density 3-1/2" diskette. Also, due to the costs of over-
seas long distance, I cannot send the source code by BBS upload
or CrashMail to sites outside of North America that operate at
2400 bps or slower.
===============================================================================
OpenDoors 5.00 Manual End of Page 18
ORDERING THROUGH COMPUSERVE
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As an alternative to mailing a cheque / money order / cash along
with the OpenDoors order form, you can order an OpenDoors online
on Compuserve. The cost of OpenDoors will automatically be
billed to your CompuServe account. Unless you have previously
notified me that you wish to receive your order by some other
means, your order will be set by conventional mail. To order
OpenDoors online through CompuServe, GO SWREG. The registration
ID for ordering JUST the OpenDoors registration ($28U.S. at the
time of this writing) is 3270. The registration ID for ordering
BOTH your OpenDoors registration and the OpenDoors source code
($56U.S. at the time of this writing) is 3271. Note that the
price for registering OpenDoors through CompuServe may increase
to 15% more than the price for ordering OpenDoors through the
mail, due to the high processing fee I am charged by CompuServe.
However, the price for ordering online through CompuServe is
currently the same as for ordering by any other means. The price
that you will be paying to order through CompuServe will be
displayed before you agree to the registration, so you will know
whether or not the price has changed before purchasing
OpenDoors.

TERMS OF REGISTRATION AND SOURCE CODE USE
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
When you purchase an OpenDoors registration and/or source code,
you are entitled to almost unlimited use of all versions of
OpenDoors. However, in order to protect my investment of time
and effort in developing OpenDoors, you must also agree to the
terms outlined below when purchasing an OpenDoors registration
and/or the source code. These terms are very reasonabl, and are
in no way intended to limit your use of OpenDoors. The primary
intent of these terms is that you are not permitted to disclose
your OpenDoors registration information, or the OpenDoors source
code, to other individuals. The exception to this requirement is
when OpenDoors is registered by an organization, the OpenDoors
registration information and source code may be shared among
members of that organization, for use within the organization.
For instance, if OpenDoors is registred to a particular company,
only a single registration is required for the company, but it
may not be used by employees for their personal use. The terms
of registration and source code use are as follows:
For the purpose of these terms, "OpenDoors" is defined to be the
library files, header files, example programs and programmer's
manual of all versions, past and present, for all languages and
platforms of the OpenDoors door programming toolkit. Upon
registering OpenDoors, the individual or organization named on
the registration form (the registree) is entitled to use of all
versions of OpenDoors, within the terms set forth below.
Violation of these terms will be considered copyright
infrindgement, and grounds for the termination of the
registration agreement. The registree is entitled, at no
additional cost, to use, distribute or sell the executable (.EXE
or .COM) files that result from using the OpenDoors door
programming toolkit. The registree is also entitled to use,
distribute or sell the example programs, example configuration
files and portions of the user manual. If purchasing the source
code, the registree is also entitled to distribute any
executable files that result from using altered versions of the
source code, or portions thereof. The registree is NOT entitled
to distribute the registration key number presented to them at
registration, or any portions of the OpenDoors source code. For
the purposes of these terms, an organization is considered to be
a company or non-profit organization. If the registree is an
organization, the registration key and source code may be shared
among members of the organization, under the condition that
these individuals are using the registration and/or source code
only for official activities of that organization. These terms
in no way suggest an agreement on the part of Brian Pirie to
develop any future versions of OpenDoors, or fix any bugs in
current versions of OpenDoors. OpenDoors is offered "as is", and
===============================================================================
OpenDoors 5.00 Manual End of Page 22
no warantees are expressed or implied. In no event shall Brian
Pirie be liable for any loss of profit or any other damage,
including but not limited to special, incidental, consequential
or other damages.
