OZNET REGISTRATION PROCEDURE March 16, 1989
======================================================================
1. A totally NEW registration procedure is now in place for ALL
OZNET software. OZNET is a loose collection of independent
companion program writers within the Sydney (Australia) GT Net.
If you have already registered prior to this procedure taking
effect, I'm sorry, but you'll have to register again. To make
it easier, a netmail message will be more than adequate.
2. Regardless of the source of the software concerned you all
OZNET registrations are made through a central ONZET
registration administrator. See the document included in the
OZINST10.ZIP file for details about how this is done.
3. Without this registration, some software will not be affected,
some will operate in "test mode" only, some will operate in
only a restricted way, and some will simply not operate at all.
Although individual programs have been affected in different
ways, no complete package has been disabled. Please look at
the individual documents to determine how the program which you
are using will work.
4. IMPORTANT NOTE:
==============
Although registration is now centralised, this does not mean
that all OZNET software comes from that source. If you have
questions about registration, then the administrator is the
person to talk to. If however, your question is about the
program you are registering, then PLEASE REFER DIRECT TO THE
AUTHOR CONCERNED.
5. INSTALLATION:
============
An installation program is provided, although it is not
included in this package. The OZINSTAL program will install
all present and future releases of all OZNET software. You
should look for the file OZINST10.ZIP which contains the
generic OZNET software installer and a document which explains
the simple procedure required.
6. There remains NO charge for any OZNET software! Registration,
however, is now essential for complete operation.
Q. How do I go about installing this software?
------------------------------------------
A. You simply sent to the OZNET registration administrator the
EXACT name under which you wish to register (usually this would
be the name of your board), and the name of the program which
you wish to register. A matching CRC will then be generated
for you. Give this EXACT name (case IS important) and the
matching CRC code to OZINSTAL and you will be able to install
the program. A different CRC is required for each program, but
the install program is common, and the install procedure is the
same for all OZNET programs.
Q. What if I lose my CRC?
---------------------
A. OZINSTAL can get it back for you! All you need to do is run
OZINSTAL, give it any registration name at all (it ignores it
in this situation only), give it the name of the program for
which you have lost your CRC, and when it asks for the CRC to
be installed, give it a question mark "?"
OZINSTAL will then reply with the CRC currently installed in
the program you have. Of course, this CRC will match only the
name currently installed to the program.
