REGISTRATION AND SHAREWARE FEE
Downsort is a Shareware product with a modest fee of 15 US-dollars.
I hate restrictions in features (cripple-ware), and other tricks to
stimulate users to register, but I have strong suspicion that
registration is far below the actual use. Therefore Downsort tries to
stimulate registration in a very modest way. Downsort is uncrippled,
full featured, but I may eventually decide to quit further work on
Downsort if the registration response remains considerably below
alledged actual use.
I want to avoid the excessive fees relative to the Shareware
contribution that banks commonly charge for international money
transfers or cheques to be made payable, and the services of credit
card companies are not free of charge too. To keep the shareware
contribution to a reasonable minimum, I urge you to send a short "thank
you for Downsort" letter with carefully hidden 15 US-Dollars in
banknotes (no cheques please). You will be obliged to perform this
incredibly pleasant task only once, and what is 15 dollars on a
lifetime? You may grasp the chance to tell me your strictly private
opinion about Downsort or to report your requirements or remarks!
Please address your letter to:
R. Hamerling
Hogelandseweg 67
4132 CV Vianen
The Netherlands
The equivalent of 15 US-Dollars in banknotes of another currency is
welcome too, but please only in a 'strong' currency (Deutsche Marken,
UK-pounds, Francs Françaises, etc.), please round up for exchange
rates! For those of you with a Dutch bank account it may be more
convenient to pay the fee (25 Guilders) into the Postbank on my account
2087285.
Soon after your money has arrived you will receive a personal 'key'
which will change the signature of Downsort as proof that you are a
registered user.
If you are running Downsort on your Bulletin Board as service to your
users, and have it available for download and/or file-request, and you
appreciate to be mentioned, I'll be happy to add your name and system
to the reference list.
