The registered version of DeskBots allows you to import phrases from text files, make use of "QuickPhrase" files and AppleScript/AppleEvents which allow you to control DeskBots from within OneClick, KeyQuencer, QuicKeys, or even via speech recognition! The registered version also allows you to load DeskBots' full personality files, as opposed to the limited personalities included with this demo.
DeskBots is shareware. If you use it, please pay the $10 registration fee. Registrations are handled by the Kagi Shareware service run by Kee Nethery. Please note that Kagi is NOT a software publisher; they just process registrations. In addition to cash in various currencies and checks drawn on US banks, Kagi also accepts credit cards by snail-mail or e-mail (your card number is scrambled). For more information, run the “Register” program, which creates a customized registration form for you. Once you have filled out all the necessary information, you can copy the form to paste into an e-mail message, print the form to mail it, or save it as a SimpleText document to print later. The Kagi Shareware e-mail and snail-mail addresses are given on the registration form created by the “Register” program. You must use this form, or as close a facsimile as possible, when registering, since Kagi handles payments for several dozen authors using a highly automated system.
Once you register, Kagi will send you an e-mail reply acknowledging your payment. There is also an option for a Postcard Receipt (which adds $1 to your total) if you do not have e-mail or want a hard copy.
If you provide an email address you will recieve your serial number via email, usually within 72 hours of your registration. You will also receive a copy via postal mail within 4 weeks. If you request disks, they will be sent with your serial number.
If you are registering DeskBots as a gift for someone other than yourself, be sure to make note of this in the comments section of the registration application (click on the speech balloon in the upper left corner) and include that person's name. If you would like the registration number and/or disks sent directly to that person, please contact me BEFORE you register to arrange for the message you would like to include.
DeskBots is free to users who registered the HEK3000 Mark II before December 1, 1996. Please contact me if you would like to upgrade.

If you are distributing DeskBots on floppy disk or CD-Rom, I would appreciate it if you would drop me a note so I can pick up a copy.
