How Do I Register FzDSTerm? Why Should I Register?
--- -- - -------- -------- --- ------ - --------
You may be asking yourself what the point is of registering FzDSTerm,
when the demo seems to do most of what you need. You might want to go over
the concepts of Shareware in the main documentation. (A standard shareware
plea where you are told that your life will be plentiful and all we be good
in the world if you pay me money.) Well, for most people that just doesn't
seem to work. So let me explain something to you.
There has been a saying around for quite a long time, "You don't get
something for nothing." In the case of FzDSTerm, and most shareware in
general this is not quite the case. If you don't pay, you still get to use
whatever program and keep a few bills in your wallet, too. But unlike most
Shareware, you just don't get EVERYTHING for nothing. Let me tell you what
you don't get:
o You don't get the satisfaction of knowing that you helped support future
FreeZe Dried Software programs and the shareware market in general.
o You don't get to save the Autodialer, Macros, a Scrollback Block, or a
Text Editor file more than once per session.
o You don't get to use Instant Graphics. (This is one feature that not many
other good terms can claim. Bitmapped 640x200x4 or 320x200x2 graphics over
the modem make menus, etc interesting to look at.)
o You don't get Reformat paragraph, Reformat Document, or Auto-Reformat in
the text editor. (Auto-reformat is an extension of word wrap, but works
when editing lines.)
o You can't add files to an archive in the Disk Commands LZH/ARC/ZIP shell.
If this isn't enough for you, I put in one last added incentive. You
enjoy having money, right? Do you enjoy making money? How about if I were
to start sending you checks? Does this sound interesting to you? Okay,
listen up.
When you register FzDSTerm, on the disk you recieve there will be an
archive called FZT_D212.LZH. This is a demo version of FzDSTerm. Follow
the instructions in the READ.ME file on the disk to create your personalized
demo. Just upload this file everywhere you can, and advertise like mad.
The more people see it and want to try it out, the more money you will get.
Here's how it works:
Contained in the registration form of this demo, there is a Serial
numberspecific to you. When people see FZT and like it enough to register,
they have to print and send in the registration form. I'll look at the
Serial number on the form, and if it corresponds to you I will send you a
check for $5. Its that easy! The more you upload and advertise, the more
people will download it and take a look at it, and more people will decide
to buy it. For every person that sees YOUR Demo and buys, you get $5! This
is myway of saying "Thank You!" to those people who do my advertising for me.
NOTE: This is only available for US orders at the moment.
Who are you? How Many? How much? (US Dollars)
--- --- --- --- ---- --- ----
Individual Person 1 $25
Group Discount (User Group, etc.) 10 or more * $20 Each
Dealer Discount 30 or more * $15 Each
* - $5 Thank You's not applicable (not individual serial numbers).
Also, the prices on the bulk orders are not set. Get in touch with me
before ordering 10 or more and we can work something out.
Upgrades will be $5 each. You may either pay that amount now or when you see
a newer version up on a BBS near you and wish to upgrade. (Don't ask me to
send anything in F-Mail to you. Everything must be handled via
US Postal (Snail) Mail.
How do I pay?
Print out the form "PRINT.ME". (If you can't print that out for
some reason, like your printer exploded the other day or something,
please write your name, address, phone number, any comments about FZT,
and the enclosed amount of money on an 8 1/2" by 11" peice of paper.) Fill
it out (try to make it legible,please.) If you are in North America, send
that along with a check for the total to:

(Make Checks payable to "Aaron Hopkins". I cannot deposit anything that says
"FreeZe Dried Software" on it. Also, make sure your International Money
orders have a "Routing Code" at the bottom. Do NOT send "Canadian Postal
Money Orders" as they do not have this code. My bank will not accept
anything without a routing code!)
On the PRINT.ME form, it asks for a random password for use with the
FreeZe Dried Terminal support BBS. I plan on adding a sub-system to my
support BBS, to help with the distribution of .KEYs, Beta-test versions, and
to allow registered users to check my logs to determine the status of their
orders under the "FzDSTerm" guest account. If in the future, you ever plan
on calling my support BBS, it would be easiest if you were to give a
password to me now. Make this a jumble of letters and numbers, write it
down, and make sure nobody else can get it. If someone else has it, it
might give them access to download your .KEY, which would be bad.
If you are in Europe, there is an alternative. You may or may not be
aware of the costs of sending an international money order to the US. To
make it easier for you, Ben Van Bokkem has agreed to handle European orders.
(He has been handling orders for Turbo BBS, Maximiser, and IGS for some time,
and now FzT.) You may send him the equivalent of the cost of your order in
English Pounds instead of US Dollars. The correct fee for European
registrations is 15 pounds Sterling.
Orders may be sent to: (Make checks payable to "Ben Van Bokkem".)

He is the sysop of the European FzDSTerm support BBS. He is available to
answer questions regarding this process:
<<<InterNet>>> (Fnet 1031}
Tel: +44-296-396-935 ~ HST/V32 V32bis/V42bis 24Hrs
Expect to see your orders in 2-6 weeks, depending on your method of
payment (Cash/Money Order/Check), how far away you live (out of state checks
take longer to cash), and how far along I am on the next version. (If a
newer version will be released within a week or two, I may hold off on
sending your order until that time, so you can receive the latest version.
If you want me to send it ASAP regardless of this, put that in the letter.)
Registering FzDSTerm pays for the use of FzT, along with all assorted
utilities written by FreeZe Dried Software for use with FzT (such as
FzDSXfer.TTP and Conv2FzT.PRG, etc.) It does not include the fee for
XYZ.TTP.
NOTE: Once you register FzT, you will get a .KEY which will activate all the
features limited in the demo version. Your friends/neighbors/etc will
all probably ask you for a copy of your .KEY. You will hear all sorts
of excuses and be very tempted to do so. DON'T DO IT!
