REGISTERING COP SQUAD
-------------------------

You can complete the registration information by doing the following :

You can enter the sysop configuration menu and choose option [R] REGISTRATION
APPLICATION. It will ask you the necessary questions and will create a file
called, REGISTER.TXT.

You can then print out the file and mail or Fax your completed registration
application along with your registration fee (described below) to:

Phoenix Data Systems, Inc.
2950 N.W. 106 Avenue, Suite #6
Sunrise, Florida  33322-1032
Fax : [phone] and/or [phone] (Credit Card - MC/Visa Orders only)

Registration Fee Schedule : (Choose *ONE*  ONLY!!)

$15 - Regular registered version enabling multi-node support and game play on
      all levels (1 - 13).

$20 - Same as above registration but includes also a player editor enabling
      the ability to delete players (without deleting the entire player data
      file) and to make changes to most every field in the player data file
      (i.e., weapons, rank, ammo, protection, etc.).

* NOTE * : Florida residents, please add 6% sales tax to above amount (totals
           shown below). THIS IS ** ONLY ** FOR FLORIDA RESIDENTS!!

$15 + $0.90 = $15.90 for Level 1 registration if a Florida resident.
$20 + $1.20 = $21.20 for Level 2 registration if a Florida resident.


You will receive an unlimited use registration number. Simply use the KEY
module in the COPUTILS.EXE program and enter your registration information. The
COP SQUAD program will read this text file and recognize your version as a
registered version of COP SQUAD. You will receive the Basic or Deluxe Version
capabilities as encrypted in your Key Code and they will immediately become
activated. All registered users of COP SQUAD will receive any updates to the
program free of charge for as long as they hold their key and while the game is
being updated (it will evetually be impossible to add any more to the game).
All updated versions will be available from PHOENIX BBS in the Phoenix Programs
file area or by f/req.


REGISTERED vs. SHAREWARE versions
----------------------------------

The differences between the two versions are minor enough to allow you (and
your users) the ability to get a good feel of how the game works and operates.
Yet, the differences are important enough for the continuation of the game past
the 30 day evaluation period (which after all is what Shareware is all about).

Summary of differences in Shareware version:
1. Flashes "DEMO VERSION" in the "Registered to : " area of the screen.
   Registered version will NOT flash and will show your name and BBS name.
2. Only allows 6 levels of play.
   Registered version allows full 13 levels of play.
3. Software "Sponsor" information not available.
   Registered version allows you to display the name of a user who might have
   sponsored the game for the BBS by purchasing it for the sysop.
4. Must delete the PLAYER.DAT file from DOS to reset the game.
   Registered version allows this quickly from the sysop menu.
5. Player editor not available (requires Level 2 registration (see above) ).
   Level 2 registered version allows changes to the player.dat file as
   described above.


MULTI-LINE SETUP
------------------

COP SQUAD does perform file locking and sharing and can be used on multi
line BBS's with two or more players using the game on different nodes at the
same time. To make the game multi-line, simply create a different configur-
ation file for each node (i.e., SQUAD1.CFG for node 1, SQUAD2.CFG for node 2,
etc.). Make sure that your door's data file directory for each node is
specified in line 2. The rest of the file would remain the same. Have your
batch file for that node call up the executable file of SQUAD.EXE along with
the appropriate configuration file for that node.
