PRO-FILE PROFESSIONAL FILE SYSTEM
REGISTRATION DETAILS
The shareware version of PRO-FILE you have right now is the complete
program itself and is fully functional. However, in order for you to
unlock its full potential, you must, at some point register. PRO-FILE
is not Crippleware; you can use PRO-FILE as long as you like before you
decide whether or not you think it is worth registering. Because I am a
firm believer in the shareware concept, I have made the shareware version
of PRO-FILE completely functional. All necessary tools and functions
required to use and evaluate PRO-FILE are operative even in the un-
registered version. However, along with registration, you'll receive
an incredibly warm feeling of honesty in your heart, as well as these
exciting registration bonuses:
■ Access to the full 26 file areas instead of only 13.
■ Amazingly, The Extended File Information Door will come to life and
will allow you to use it on your BBS.
■ Master Listings can be generated and made available for download
automatically.
■ And don't forget, your registration includes life time support and
free updates.
Being a SysOp for 2 years myself, I realize what goes behind the scenes
in creating and maintaining a good BBS. I also know the amazing amount
of time and especially money spent in the process. Therefore, I have
designed PRO-FILE to be easy to install and use and have the easiest
registration method I've ever seen. But I think what you'll like most of
all is the fact that this software doesn't cost an arm and a leg to
register. For your added benefit, there are two registration plans
available you can choose from.
Plan #1: Basic Registration Package: Cost: $18
-----------------------------------------------
This plan is geared toward the more popular method of registering. If
you just want to register your own copy and don't know of anyone else
who might want to register, then of course, you'll use this plan to
purchase just one copy.
Plan #2: Multiple Quantity Package: Cost: $15 Each
---------------------------------------------------
This plan is geared toward a group registration, which offers a
significant discounted price. In order for you to use this plan and
receive the discounts, 5 or more people must submit their registration
at the same time (in the same shipment). There are two methods of
registering in this case (See below).
Plan #3: Programmer's Package: Cost: $35
-----------------------------------------
If you are a programmer and you are interested in writing additional
utilities for PRO-FILE, then this plan is for you. Along with your
registered key code, you will receive the Turbo Pascal structure to PRO-FILE's
data base that will allow you to write programs (private or commercial) that
read, write, and modify the PRO-FILE data base. In addition to the
registration bonuses mentioned at the beginning of this documentation, you
will also receive the complete source code to the high backgrounds unit used
by PRO-FILE to allow access to all 16 background colors. Finally, you'll also
receive a utility that will allow you to use TheDraw to design screens with
the full 16 background colors.
HOW TO REGISTER
---------------
Plan #1: $18 Single Registration:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
All you have to do is use the included Registration utility by typing in
"REGISTER" at the DOS prompt. Most of the information required on the
registration form will already be filled in. Once you fill in the
additional information, you will have the option to print the registration
form to the printer or disk file. In addition, if you have the right kind
of printer, you'll have the option to insert an envelope in the printer and
have the printer automatically address the envelope for you. When I
receive the registration, I will send you a letter with your registered key
code, usually on the exact same day I receive your registration. No
additional files are needed to register your copy of PRO-FILE, only your
unique registered key code. When you get the code, all you have to do is
type in PROFILE REGISTER, enter the code, and PRO-FILE will do the rest!
Plan #2: $15 Multiple Quantity Discount Registration:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You have several options available here. Each person that will be registering
in your group will need to pay the $15 discount price and also send in their
registration information (form). This can be handled several ways. Each
SysOp can send their registration separately, but I must receive the entire
group's registrations in the same day. More conveniently, one person can
mail all the registration information at once. That means all payments from
each person must be given to the person mailing it and included in the
shipment. You can send a different check for each person or combine all
payments in one check, it's up to you. Remember, a registration form must
be present for each person in the group. When you are ready to register,
just use the included Registration utility by typing in "REGISTER" at the
DOS prompt. When I receive the group registration, I will send each SysOp
their individual letter containing their registered code key. I will usually
be able to mail the letters the same day I receive the registrations. No
additional files are needed to register PRO-FILE, only the unique registered
key code. When you get the code, just type in PROFILE REGISTER, enter the
code, and PRO-FILE will do the rest!
Plan #3: $35 Programmer's Package:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Same as Plan #1, except, in addition to your registered key code, you'll also
receive a disk with the PRO-FILE database structure, the high backgrounds
unit (with source), and the 16 Color Background Designer for TheDraw.
FINISHING TOUCH
---------------
With Registration, you will receive the best support available.
This includes life time support and free updates. Your registered
key code will work with all future versions of PRO-FILE. If you
have any programs, you can notify me, and I will correct the problem
promptly. When updates are made, however, due to the low price
registration cost, I cannot afford to send the latest version to
all registered sysops. When a new version is compiled, it will
be released in several national file echoes and you should be able
to download it from a local board within a week or so. And of course,
you can always download the latest version from my BBS or the national
distribution BBSes. If you want it immediately and registered by
means of Plan #2, then one person could call and download it and send
it to the entire group or city.
