-For Macintosh: put the file "Troi ClipSave Plug-in" from the folder "Mac OS Plug-in" into the
"FileMaker Extensions" fol
der in the FileMaker Pro 4.0 folder. If you have installed previous
versions of this plug-in, you must remove them.
-For Windows: put the file "clipsave.fmx" from the directory "Windows Plug-in" into the "SYSTEM"
subdirectory in the FileMaker Pro 4.0 directory. If you have installed previous versions of this
plug-in, you must remove them.
You may want to install other plug-ins before proceeding. Then (re)start FileMaker Pro. You can check which plug-ins you have loaded by

Preferences from the Edit menu, and then choose Plug-ins.
You can now open the file "ClipSave.fp3" to see how to use the plug-in's functions. There is also a Function overview in this file.
Warning:
There is a problem in FileMaker 4.0v1. Please make sure that all plug-ins that are in the folder "FileMaker Extensions" are enabled in the preferences (Under Edit/ Preferences/ Application/ Plug-ins). Make sure all plug-ins have a cross before their
name. Remove plug-ins you don't use from the "FileMaker Extensions" folder. Windows users find the plug-ins in the "SYSTEM" subdirectory in the FileMaker Pro 4.0 directory. NB: This bug is fixed in version 4.1 and in 4.0v2.

What are the costs?
Troi ClipSave plug-in has the following pricing:
ClipSave
plug-in
1 or more single user licenses (pe
r user): $ 10
Cross platform Multi user license: $ 50
Cross platform Developer distribution license: $ 50
A Cross platform Multi user license covers all locations for your organization. One big advantage of this License is that you do not need to keep track of how many people at your site are using the software. The Cross platform developer license is intended for Solution developers that want to include the plug-in in their database solutions. See the "For Solut
ion developers" folder for more information.
All Troi Plug-ins are available for Macintosh and Windows. When ordering please indicate for which platform you are ordering.
How to pay?
Paying for a license is easy. There are 4 ways to pay:
1) Pay via Kagi with the enclosed Register program
2) Pay via Kagi Online at <http://order.kagi.com/?5i>
3) Pay via Waves in Motion online at <http://www.wmotion.com/>
4) Pay Troi Automatisering directly (only for users in the Netherlands)
1) Pay Kagi
with the enclosed Register program
Kagi is a trustworthy payment service which handles payment for a lot of users and software authors . As of end of Nov 1997 Kagi already processed 338505 payments.
To pay open the Register program that accompanies Troi Graphic Plug-in. Enter your name, your email address, and the number of single user licenses you desire for each program you wish to purchase (or Site or World-Wide licenses). Save or Copy or Print the data from the Register program and sen
d the data and payment to Kagi. More specifics on the Register program to follow. Kagi handles my payment processing.
If paying with Credit Card or First Virtual, you can email or fax the data to Kagi. Their email address is sales@kagi.com and their fax number is +1 510 652-6589. You can either Copy the data from Register and paste into the body of an email message or you can Save the data to a file and you can attach that file to an email message. There is no need to compress the data f
ile, it's already pretty small. If you have a fax modem, just Print the data to the Kagi fax number.
Payments sent via email are processed within 3 to 4 days. You will receive an email acknowledgment when it is processed. Payments sent via fax take up to 10 days and if you provide a correct internet email address you will receive an email acknowledgment.
If you are paying with Cash or USD Check you should print the data using the Register application and send it to the address shown on
the form, which is:
1442-A Walnut Street PMB #392-5I
Berkeley, California 94709-1405
You can pay with a wide variety of cash from different countries but at present if you pay via check, it must be a check drawn in US Dollars. Kagi cannot accept checks in other currencies, the conversion rate for non-USD checks is around USD 15 per check and that is just not practical.
If you have a purchasing department, you can enter all the data into the Register program and then select I
nvoice as your payment method. Print three copies of the form and send it to your accounts payable people. You might want to highlight the line that mentions that they must include a copy of the form with their payment. Kagi can not invoice your company, you need to act on my behalf and generate the invoice and handle all the paperwork on your end.
Please do not fax or email payment forms that indicate Cash, Check or Invoice as the payment method. As far as we know, there is still no te
chnology to transfer physical objects via fax or email and without the payment, the form cannot be processed.
Payments sent via postal mail take time to reach Kagi and then up to 10 days for processing. Again, if you include a correct email address, you will hear from Kagi when the form is processed.
2) Pay via Kagi Online
See under 1) for a description of what Kagi payment service is.
Kagi has a web page where you can pay via Credit Card. Point your web browser at <http://order.kagi.co
m/?5i> Fill in the form and follow the instructions.
