You can print out the Registration Form (it's also an invoice) via Main Menu item 12 from within Power. The program lets you fill in the blanks in the form and computes your total cost for you based on your selections. You can order a registered version of Power by credit card through phone numbers and addresses listed below. With other forms of payment, you can send me the printed Registration Form directly. For additional information on Power, see the README.1ST file contained in the archive. Please note: Main Menu item 12 (Register) is the only way that the order form can be filled in and printed out. There is no order form here or in any of the documentation. 1 SHAREWARE REGISTRATION AND LICENSE FEES ─────────────────────────────────────── 30-DAY EVALUATION PERIOD IS FREE. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You may use Power for the first 30 days free of charge, under the terms of the TRIAL USE LICENSE in file LICENSE.DOC. After this 30-day evaluation period, if you continue to use it, please purchase a registered copy from me by paying the license fee. LICENSE FEE ~~~~~~~~~~~ The single user (personal license) fee is $49 for the program, plus shipping and applicable sales tax for residents of Maryland. Site licenses are available with quantity discounts as shown in file SITELICE.DOC. Source code is not available. WHAT YOU GET WHEN YOU REGISTER ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ When I receive your registration order, I will send you a diskette with the latest copy of the program in a self-extracting archive, a printed copy of the User's Manual, and your personal registration information on the bottom status bar in the program screen (mandatory), along with the Serial Number. Mail support, BBS support, and CompuServe E-mail support for 90 days are given. Registered users will receive notices of future upgrades when available at a reduced cost. The size of your new Power program, when you receive it in the diskette, will be approximately 57Kb smaller because the Register item selection in the Main Menu is not included in the registered version. BRANDING ~~~~~~~~ Part of the registration process is the branding of your software with either your personal name or the name of the company of your choice. If you wish, you can give such specific names as "GSFC Engineering Department" (GSFC for Goddard Space Flight Center) or your personal initials. The brand name must include the company name or its initials, or your personal name or initials. For example, the name "Engineering Department" is not acceptable. Personal initials, if used, should match the first letters of the name listed on the invoice as the recipient of the software license. I have provided a prompt in reverse-video for entering your brand name in the Register function of the Main Menu (item 12) for this purpose. If this entry is blank, the company name you specify in 2 the company name prompt (part of your address entry) will be used. If this is also blank, the name of the person in the address (in the invoice) will be used. There is no extra cost for branding. WHERE/HOW TO REGISTER ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ For best results, run the Main Menu item 12 (Register). Power will calculate and itemize the total cost automatically, including quantity discounts and sales tax. You can also select payment methods and addresses to send your remittance to. The complete information can be printed as an invoice. Send this form to me with your remittance (after approval from the accounting department, if required). If you want to place a credit card order, you still need this printed form so you can tell the operator all the data needed, including the Sales Code printed on the form. In this case, you may use one of the registration methods shown in the next few pages, as appropriate to you. The same information is given in Main Menu item 12 (Register). Before placing a credit card order, first type in the blanks in the Power Main Menu item 12, then print it out and give the operator the Sales Code listed on the print-out. Make sure you give the operator the spelling of the name (31 characters long) to be used in your license (mandatory). If you want to make a comment about Power, you can send me the Commentary Form printed via Main Menu item 12 directly to me. NOTE: Company Site Users must sign the License Agreement (see LICENSE.DOC file) and send it by mail direct to the author. The company may elect to issue their own agreement and send it to me for consideration. See the file SITELICE.DOC for quantity discounts. NOTE: If you are ordering by credit card, please do not send me the order form. Call them, or send it to the address shown on the print-out. The same information is given below. 3 ┌───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ 1.

Box 496 Newtown NSW 2042 AUSTRALIA 6 TERMS ───── CREDIT CARD ORDERS for single-user licenses are placed through phone or CompuServe mail as shown below, or by FAX or postal mail shown earlier in this file. CHECKS OR MONEY ORDERS must be in US funds drawn only on a US bank. Send CASH only by registered mail. Cashier/certified checks, cash, money order, and credit card orders are processed WITHIN 48 HOURS of receipt. You, the individual user, are bound by the terms and conditions of the PERSONAL or SITE SOFTWARE LICENSE (see LICENSE.DOC file) even if you do not sign the license (the company must sign this site license). When you register for Power, you agree to this. This is for the protection of both the user and the author. NOTE: Personal checks may be subject to a bank clearance delay before shipment is made. This is typically 7 days for an out-of-state check. COMPANY OR AGENCY PURCHASE ORDERS. Orders under $100 must be prepaid. Purchase orders for amounts of $100 and over are accepted from established companies. Have your purchasing agent contact me for terms. 7 FAST! CONVERSION TO REGISTERED VERSION BY PHONE ───────────────────────────────────────────────── If you want to convert your shareware version of Power to the registered version over the phone FAST, here's how. You indicate on the order form (on the last page of the order form) your desire to have me call you as soon as I receive your order (by mail direct to me or through other means as provided above). I will then give you instructions over the phone so that your software will be registered in your name with a unique serial number automatically generated. This will take only a minute or so. I will then ship you the Power Manual by mail, and you will have a registered version of Power to use while waiting for the manual to reach you. This saves both of us time. Of course, this is useful if there is no current upgrade; if the new upgrade is available, I will be sending it to you by mail along with the manual. Please note: Company checks sent to me by mail will be accepted immediately, but out-of-state personal checks will require a bank clearance period of about 7 days before I call you to give you the instructions. This does not apply if you order by credit card. If you want to avoid this snag and get a faster response, use only a certified check or money order. Cash is okay, if you hide it well; but this incurs risk on your part. Please note: The offer for FAST! registration by phone is not valid for multiple quantity diskettes or multiple-site licenses. Serial numbers must be individually assigned. 8 =============================================================== IF YOU CHOOSE TO ORDER BY MAIL: PRESS 12 IN THE MAIN MENU OF POWER, TYPE IN YOUR SELECTIONS AND ADDRESS, PRINT IT OUT, AND THEN SEND THIS FORM WITH PAYMENT TO: Michael D.
