choose to register. Most importantly, you need to include your name

this to generate your password, so it must be precise. You will need to
specify which programs you wish to register, and include payment for
each of them. We accept Visa, Mastercard, and American Express. If you
are using normal mail, you can send us a check as well. Make sure to
include your card number, the expiration date, and what type of card you

An Email address is not strictly necessary, but it will result in much
faster service.
For instant gratification, register by phone, and pay using Visa or
Mastercard. To do so, call (773) 477-2492 and we will give you a
password right over the phone.
Alternatively, you can send us a check to the address below.

1.5 Reporting Bugs If you find a bug in our software, it would be
helpful if you reported the bug to us. To report a bug, please Email us
with Bug Report Request in the subject line. In the Email, include the
following information:
ÑWhat type of PalmPilot you are using (i.e. Personal)
ÑThe software name and version number (i.e. Frogs vs. Cars 1.0)
ÑThe error number
ÑA brief description of how we can recreate the error
ÑYour name and Email address so we can contact you when the bug is fixed
When reporting bugs, it is best to Email us, rather than calling, so
that the programers have a written record of the information they need
to solve the problem. As soon as we receive your Email, the programer
will examine the problem, and fix it.. Because our programers are busy
creating software, it can take a while for them to reply, but they will
release a new version of the software that fixes the bug as soon as they
can.
