║ Registration Information ║
╚══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
Since BBS Vaders is shareware, you are allowed to try out the game before
deciding whether or not to purchase it. Many games on bulletin board systems
are in fact registered by the users and not the sysop. We believe that when
you see the quality and stablility of BBS Vaders, you will be proud to offer
this product to your family of users.
BBS Vaders is fully functional except for a few "registered only" features.
After you register BBS Vaders, you will recieve a unique registration
code printed just for your copy of the game!
The code is entered using VADERCFG.EXE. Just use:
"(E)nter Registration Codes". After entering the code, the game will run
in registered mode. Registration will get you:
* The annoying unregistered reminder screen will no longer be displayed.
* Ansi/Ascii score files will be created in the games directory after
each play.
* You can set the number of plays per day. (defaults to 2 if unregistered)
* You'll get this wonderful warm feeling for supporting the shareware
programmers and the hard work they do.
* You'll give your BBS a more professional look by running registered games.
* You'll have something to brag about to your friends.
By supporting this quality product, you are insuring future development.
All future versions of BBS Vaders will work with your registration code.
NO CHARGE FOR BBS VADER UPGRADES, EVER! Downloading new versions will be
left up to you. The latest version will always be made avaliable here at
Online USA (615) 388-7766 or by FIDO Freq at 1:116/165 using the magic name
of VADERS.
