THERE IS NO OTHER GUIDE LIKE LIFE IN THE USA
LIFE IN THE USA FOR WINDOWS is a unique complete guide to
American life for both immigrants and Americans. Here is
all the information you need to successfully live, work,
even fall in love in the United States. LIFE IN THE USA is
packed with information; you'll need a full 3.5 megabytes on
your hard disk to load the program in Windows.
To install LIFE IN THE USA on your hard drive, go to the
Windows file menu and choose RUN. At the prompt type
A:\Setup or B:\Setup, depending on the letter designation of
the floppy drive you're using. Windows will do the rest.
LIFE IN THE USA uses a system of menus and submenus that
break American life down into digestible chunks. The
program requires no user input other than menu and sub-menu
selection, except on the registration screen.
LIFE IN THE USA is a "shareware program." Shareware
distribution gives you a chance to try software before
buying it. If you try a shareware program and continue
using it, you are expected to register. After paying a
small fee you'll receive a fully registered disk of the
program.
LIFE IN THE USA is offered on the same shareware basis. Try
it out fully without any obligation. We encourage you to
make copies for your family and friends or to post the
program on on-line bulletin boards. But if you want to
continue using LIFE IN THE USA after 30 days, please pay the
fee and register.
LIFE IN THE USA is being constantly revised and improved.
When you register, you get the latest version, with new
sections the developers haven't even thought of as this was
being written. You'll also gain the ability to print any of
the factual sections about American life. Of course, the
publisher offers full product support.
In addition, registered users get a free disk crammed with
useful files including:
---An extensive "find a job" database.
---An extensive business resource file with government agency
listings, funding sources, supply catalog information and much
more.
---Detailed plans (over 700K) for more than 50 "easy access"
businesses you can start in the USA with minimal investment.
---A unique report on how to get a college degree in the USA
without ever attending a class, even while living in a foreign
country. The smart way to start (or jump-start) your career is
to use accredited Credit Banks to get college out of the way
quickly for less than $1000 for a full degree. Applicable for
both undergraduate and prestigious graduate degrees.
Registration is well worth it. It is also a sign of support
for the developers and the shareware concept which we deeply
appreciate.
Registration is $40.00 plus $6.00 worldwide shipping. Visa
and MasterCard are accepted.
A printable registration form is included in the program,
but it is not strictly necessary: all you really need to do
to register is send your name and address and a check or
credit card information (with your Visa or MasterCard
expiration date) for $46.00 to
Autonomy Publishing Corp.
P.O. Box 1142
