Notice: Encryption changes

o With this version of 2.9, we have removed DES encryption from COM-AND.
Federal law does not permit export of DES encryption software. The
file DELAYED.DOC discusses this matter somewhat.

Notice: COM-AND registration changes:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* With this version 2.9, we are beginning several new registration
procedures. First, we are sending a 'registered' diskette to each
individual registering COM-AND through CABER. Previously, we acknow-
leged each registration, but did supply a 'registered' version.
If you have registered a previous version of COM-AND and wish an
upgrade, print, fill out, and send us the form REGISTER.FRM along
with the necessary shipping and handling fee (see REGISTER.FRM).
If you purchased a registered copy of COM-AND bundled with other
software and desire an upgrade, you MUST include proof-of-purchase
with your request. You may obtain proof-of-purchase (in some form)
from the original distributor.
* Second, we offer additional benefits to those who register COM-AND.
Registration entitles you to use COM-AND, and licenses you to use all
future shareware versions of COM-AND. On registration we offer:
. A free Compuserve intro-pack with $15.00 usage credit
. License to use the CISAUTO scripts for Compuserve (for a small fee)
. A dialing directory of BBSes tailored to your area code and your
expressed interests (for a small fee)
. A reduced rate for subscription to Shareware Magazine (50% off)
. A reduced rate for subscription to the Houston Public (Software)
Library (PsL) magazine (33% off)
. A reduced price for the "the Source Book", the 700-page guide to
PD/Shareware (33% off); including a four-disk set of the latest
PsL Reviews Disks.
. License to use all COM-AND accessory programs. These are currently:
PC-VCO, CCHESS, VCOLIB, CBRIDGE, CCOLOR, UNPACKIT, and UNSTUFIT.
Please read the document REGISTER.DOC for more information on these
offers. Fill out REGISTER.FRM with your registration, and indicate
which you'd like to receive.
* Third, REGISTER.DOC now contains a formal user license. Shareware
software is NOT public domain - the user license is a legal document.
VENDOR.DOC describes CABER's policy on redistribution of COM-AND.
Please read VENDOR.DOC if you are an organization distributing share-
ware software, and wish to include COM-AND in your library.
