This file contains a description of benefits you receive when you become a
registered user of Tamper, a brief explanation of shareware concepts, and
instructions which tell you exactly how to register.
BENEFITS...
When you become a registered user of Tamper, you receive several benefits.
The first thing that happens is that VORCO TECHNOLOGIES sends you the latest
version of the Tamper program. This version may include some or all of the
following enhancements:
- The option to play the computer as an opponent.
- A custom-designed pop-up calculator, usable during play.
- An adjustable timer option, to limit the duration of turns.
- Full Sound Blaster(tm) and Adlib(tm) sound board support.
- A "what-if" feature, to "look-ahead" when Tampering.
- History file management, to move games between files.
- The capability to play an opponent via modem or cable.
- and lots more!
The more time that has elapsed since the date of this program version, the
more likely it is that these enhancements have already been implemented. It
is entirely possible that, as you read this, a program version with all the
above features, and more, has already been released. And of course, the
registered version of the program contains none of the annoying message
screens that pop up during the game and remind you to register.
In addition to the latest program version, other benefits you receive by
registering include:
- A high quality, professionally-printed manual.
- Free lifetime telephone technical support.
- Free upgrades as they become available.
- Eligibility to compete in all contests.
- Future newsletters and announcements.
- A lifetime, no-questions-asked, money-back guarantee.
- The good feeling that comes with being honest and ethical.
- Our enduring respect and good will toward you as a customer.
As of this writing, VORCO TECHNOLOGIES is sponsoring a contest for the best
score--that is, the player with the least number of rounds to win a game of
Tamper. First prize is a new 486 computer system. Runner-up prizes will also
be awarded. In order to compete in this contest, you absolutely MUST be a
registered user of Tamper. You do not need to have played the winning game on
a registered version of the program, but you, yourself, must be registered to
enter. When you register, you will be sent full details on how to enter this
contest. (A file named CONTEST.DOC is included with this version of Tamper.
Check this file for more information about the contest.)
ABOUT SHAREWARE...
Shareware is not a type of software; it is a marketing method. As such, you
are permitted to freely copy and pass out the program, provided you do not
charge more than a nominal fee for doing so. You can also use the program
yourself for the purpose of evaluating it.
Shareware is not free software, however. If you use a program, you are
expected to pay for it. Doing so allows this software distribution system to
work properly for everyone. Shareware registration fees are far less than the
purchase price of comparable commercial software. Shareware is a good deal for
all--developer, distributor, and customer.
There are huge advantages to you in dealing with shareware. You get to "try
before you buy." That is, you can evaluate software first to make sure you like
it before you register. Shareware is typically less expensive than commercial
software, since the developer saves the expense of advertising and retail
distribution, and passes the savings on to you. On top of that, shareware
developers are generally more accessible and responsive than retail software
sources, so that your questions are dealt with more quickly and effectively.
The Tamper program is distributed as shareware. VORCO TECHNOLOGIES retains
all rights to the software under copyright law. If you continue to use Tamper
after trying it out, you are expected to register by paying the registration
fee. In return for doing so, you receive the above-mentioned benefits.
The essence of shareware is to provide honest computer users with quality
software without high prices, while maintaining incentive for programmers to
continue developing new products. By becoming a registered user of a shareware
program, you allow the system to work for everyone.
If you find Tamper useful and discover you are still using the program
after a reasonable trial period, please register. You'll feel great when you
do. Guaranteed!
Software developers and distributors who are members of The Association of
Shareware Professionals (ASP) adhere to strict guidelines for their programs
and documentation. Software from these sources must conform to certain high-
quality standards. VORCO TECHNOLOGIES is proud to be a member in good standing
of ASP.
REGISTRATION...

limited license to use this software for evaluation purposes only. This version
of the program may not be used on a continuous basis at any location without
