- Preface
-
- I have been thinking for a long time whether or not I should release
- this preview version and whether or not I should accept registrations
- of this preview version. I decided to do both, since I don't know any
- disk editor which could replace DisKey and if I were a user, I really
- would miss this program... To avoid too much distribution of this
- preview version, I have done many restrictions on the distribution.
- However, every person should be able to get a version of this program.
-
- I also was thinking for a long time whether or not I should inform
- registered users about this preview version. I decided not to inform
- them for no, since I cannot expect that they accept a preview version
- as update. However, every registered user can get this preview version
- as update, if he wants. If you speak or write in the public about
- DisKey 3.0 preview, I please you to mention this fact. You probably
- will avoid some trouble to the users and to me if you do so. Thank
- you! If too many registered users protest against this rule, maybe
- I'll reconsider, but I'm sure I can't please all men... :-(
-
-
- What do you have to do if you are unregistered to register this version?
-
- Send the fee to the following address and state that it should be used
- to register DisKey:
-
- Katrin Schmidt
- Finkenweg 26
- 89233 Neu-Ulm
- Deutschland
-
-
- How much money do I have to send?
-
- >> Registration costs 50 DM or US $ 35 plus shipping.
-
- Registrations (includes disk, program and keyfile)... 50 DM or $35
-
- >> The following offers are for registered users only. They also
- >> exclude costs for shipping.
-
- Disk with latest version of DisKey, no keyfile...... 3 DM or $2
- New keyfile with latest version of DisKey........... 10 DM or $7
-
- Comment: in case the old keyfile would get invalid in future (e. g.
- because of pirate copies), you can get a new keyfile for 3 DM or $2
- plus shipping. As long as the keyfile stays valid you can get updates
- from sources for freely distributable software.
-
- The author reserves the right to block keyfiles which have been spread
- in future versions. Their users won't get updates anymore nor new
- registrations.
-
-
- What does shipping cost?
-
- Please include a stamped and addressed envelope or pay the following
- shipping costs:
-
- Shipping within Europe...... 7 DM or $5
- Shipping outside Europe..... 10 DM or $7
-
- Note: if you include a stamped envelope, please consider that a letter
- which contains a disk weights more than 20 gramm. At the moment,
- shipping a disk within Germany costs 2 DM. However you should ask the
- post about the actual fee.
-
-
- What will I get for my money?
-
- You will be registered and you get a keyfile which suppresses the
- annoying requesters and which allows writing on large devices.
- Additionally, you can request new versions (prices see above). A
- printed manual is not yet available and I don't know whether there will
- be an english version in future or not. So you probably will only get
- the same documentation which is included in the freely distributable
- version.
-
- Since informing new users for updates required a *lot* of time in the
- past, I won't do this automatically in future. However you can send me
- a post card which I will put into a shoebox and as soon as there comes
- an update I'll throw it into the postbox. This postcard must be
- stamped and adressed - I really won't do any more but throwing it into
- the postbox.
-
- Registered users get some help by telephone if they need one. My
- acutal phone number is: +49 721 695307. Please call only at a human
- time and have your serial number ready. Thank you.
-
-
- How can I pay the fee?
-
- I suggest to pay using a cheque. This seems to be rather save. But be
- sure I get the requested money if I exchange it at the bank. Cash is
- accepted, too, but I'm not liably if the money gets lost. If you don't
- have to pay more than 5 DM, you may send me some stamps. Please don't
- send single stamps with a value of more than 2 DM.
-
-
- Authors of other programs
-
- If you've written a *good* program, you might want to swap
- registrations. I swap for freeware, too, if the program is good, since
- I think programmers who write good programs should be supported.
- Restriction for such a deal is OS 2 compatibiliby. The program must be
- conform with the style guide (wherever it makes sense). It must not
- throw enforcer hits nor mungwall hits and must be stable. If you want
- to swap your program for a registration of DisKey, you should write
- directely to me:

- Klosterweg 28/I501 Finkenweg 26
- 76131 Karlsruhe 89233 Neu-Ulm
- Deutschland Deutschland
- (Address probably will get (Address will stay valid for a
- invalid in '97!!!) long time but has a long response
- time!!!)
