- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- My shareware programs are registered as a "package deal". Registering for any
- one program grants you rights to use all of the others. I feel this represents
- a much better value than other authors who charge separate fees for each one of
- their programs. Your one-time payment of $19.95 will grant you registration of
- every program listed in this document.
-
- Registration is good for all versions -- past, present, and future -- of the
- programs listed in this file. You only need to register once.
-

-
- Registration Policy (via US-Mail):
-

- US-Mail address. Include your EMAIL address with the check. [You can also
- register online via credit card; see below]
- 2. I will generate a registration code that corresponds to the email you
- included. I will email this registration code back to you at the address
- you provided.
- 3. Load up newsbot/sbjv/sbimg and select Register from the menu. Enter your

- 4. Your registration is good forever, and will be supported under ALL FUTURE
- VERSIONS of these programs.
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Online Registration via Credit Card:
-
- I support online credit card registration with a secure web server. You can
- find my software registration page at
- http://www.sb-software.com/credit/credit.html.This page includes instructions
- and will direct you to the ordering page which is located on a secure server.
-
- The secure server supports the Secure Sockets Layer and encrypts your credit
- card information so that it cannot be intercepted or tampered with by anyone.
- It's a widely accepted standard and absolutely the safest way to do business on
- the web. You can also fax credit card information to me at 520-797-8325 if
- you'd prefer.
-
- Your registration code will be generated and emailed to your email address
- immediately after your registration information has been received and
- validated. The whole process only takes a minute or two.
-
- Once you have received your code, just enter it into the software as described
- in the preceding section. It's very easy, and you'll be up and running in no
- time at all!
-
- The charge will appear on your credit card as "SB Software".
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Specific registration benefits include:
-
- 1. Removal of "shareware delay" in SBNews/Newsbot, SBJV, and SB Image
- Explorer, and Sortpics.
- 2. Newsbot's automatic start command line feature.
- 3. By supporting the author, you encourage me to continue devoting work to
- the project, which in turn causes me to create a superior product, which
- ultimately benefits you!
- 4. Deactivation of advertising in my AdSoftware supported products (SBWcc,
- SBJV, etc)
-
- Please do consider registering this shareware if you continue to use it. The
- programming is very involved and time consuming, and it really gives me a lot
- more incentive to add new features if I receive compensation for my work.

-
- About the shareware philosophy:
-
- Many of you are familiar with shareware, but for some it is a new concept.
- Shareware is not free software. Shareware simply entitles you to evaluate the
- software for a certain period of time before having to pay for it. That way,
- you can make sure that the software is really worthwhile before you have to
- part with your hard-earned money.
-
- While I usually do not place an explicit evaluation term on my programs, I
- would expect that if you find the software useful for 30 days or more, then you
- should pay for it. It's the right thing to do. Paying for the software is
- usually referred to as "registering", and when your payment is received, I will
- send you a registration code. This registration code can then be entered into
- the software, removing any "nag" features (such as "delays") that might be
- present. Most of my programs also have an about box that proudly displays your
- name, so that all your friends will know that you supported the software.
-
- All of my software features a lifetime registration policy. You only have to
- register once. If I release a new version of a particular program, your
- registration is automatically good for it. You need never register again.
-
- My registrations operate as a package deal. Paying the registration fee
- entitles you to registered status in every single program listed in this
- document. Even if you don't need them all, chances are you find use for several
- of them. For example, suppose you want a binary news downloader (SBNews), a web
- downloader (SBWcc), a viewer (SBJV), and a sorting utility (SortPics). From
- another shareware author, this would probably result in four different programs
- and four different registration fees, to a total of $80-$100. With my policy,
- one low registration fee of $19.95 pays for them all!
-
- So why should you register? Registering provides me with the financial support
- that I need to continue my programming efforts. The more registrations I
- receive, the greater my incentive to continue working on a project. The more
- work I put into a project, the better the finished product, and the more you'll
- enjoy it. So you can see that by registering you ultimately benefit yourself!
-
- About SB-Software:
-
- SB-Software is the company name that I use to market my shareware programs.
- SB-Software is owned, operated, and staffed by Scott Baker (that's me!). It's a
- one man operation and I handle all technical support, questions, and
- registrations personally. I am the author of all software on the site, and all
- software listed in this document. I feel this is the best way to ensure that
- everyone gets the support that they deserve. When you ask a question, you will
- receive a response directly from the author, which guarantees information will
- be as accurate as possible.
-
- I am always open to suggestions, feature requests, or bug reports pertaining to
- my software. Feel free to email me anytime.
