Version 2.20, by Applied Foresight Inc.
(C) Copyright 1986, 1987 R.H. Martin. All Rights Reserved.
DBS-KAT REGISTRATION
--------------------
OVERVIEW
DBS-KAT is a DB-SHAREWARE program software product. Please help us
distribute DBS-KAT by sharing unmodified copies of the DBS-KAT basic
system diskette. The DBS-KAT system eventually will include a DBS-KAT
add-on, by purchase, diskette. Copying for others of the DBS-KAT add-on
diskette is prohibited by Copyright law.
If you find DBS-KAT useful, we encourage you to register your copy.
Registration costs $27.50 & provides these benefits:
->Latest DBS-KAT basic system provided if a later version # exists
(or a coupon entitling you to one free, future base DBS-KAT system).
->The DBS-KAT conversion to 2.X & advanced DB Maintenance Utility
Software (described below, if purchased separately: $12.50).
->You'll be notified of new upgrades and the right to buy future DBS-KAT
add-ons w/latest version for $15.00 each time.
->Entitled to limited phone customer support (you have to provide your
number & be willing to accept collect phone calls, --you will not
receive the author's phone number). See below on mail support.
->You'll get a customer number & for every four other persons who
register, citing your customer number (or full name, if they register
before you receive your customer number), you'll get a coupon
entitling you to one free future DBS-KAT add-on w/latest version.
Use your coupon whenever you want to update.
If registered or not, to report DBS-KAT bugs, documentation errors, or
suggest improvements, fill out the DBS-KAT Software Problem Report, plus
any print screen of the problem. You can print this form by typing:
KAT -P & pressing ENTER.
Register by mail. Use the order form below. You can create a copy of
this form by typing: KAT -O & pressing ENTER. Great Lakes State Residents
add their state sales tax. Quantity discounts available for corp.,
classroom or group use.
The next subsection covers, among other topics, forthcoming features in
DBS-KAT add-on, by purchase, software modules. The base, free, DBS-KAT
software intends to be enhanced too.
You can get a free version of DBS-KAT from friends or local user groups,
which have received or ordered their own version, or you can order
direct from Applied Foresight.
If you don't want to register but just want the latest or a newer version
of the DBS-KAT base system diskette, you can order direct for $15.00 from
Applied Foresight. The $15.00 will entitle you to:
->The latest version of the DBS-KAT base system diskette;
->Mailing notifications of update releases as well as other forthcoming
DB-SHAREWARE products.
->$5.00 discount coupon applicable against the cost of any future
DBS-KAT registration enrollment.
DBS-KAT's source code can be purchased separately for $30.00. A copy of
the basic system source files in C & Assembler (some public domain code
by Jim Rauser is included). The password checking subroutine is not
provided with the purchase & the source code for DB-VISTA database
calls must be purchased from Raima Corp., 12201 SE Tenth St., Bellevue,
WA 98005.
Applied Foresight reserves the right to adjust these prices in the
future.
If you already have a DBS-KAT version, specify what version you have. If
you already have the most recent version, although you will still get
the latest version of DBS-KAT existing at the time of your order, in
addition, you'll get at no extra charge, the next release of the DBS-KAT
base system diskette.
FUTURE ADD-ON PROGRAMS
Eventually, add-on, by purchase, program(s) will be available. These
programs will be identified by the spelling KATOPT??.EXE. All then
existing KATOPT*.EXE program(s) will be shipped for a given order.
Plans for the first DBS-KAT add-on program diskette include the following
features.
->Provide a window-type program to add text comments about individually
cataloged filenames.
->Catalog, if user desires, file entries contained in a PKARC or ARC
Archived file (*.ARC). DBS-KAT would then allow each of the archived
filename entries to be edited via the same window-type edit program
as regular DBS-KAT cataloged filenames.
->provide a computer-usage logging program utility to aid in keeping
track of your use of your computer for IRS purposes.
->provide a report which most users write in & request. If you want
something enhanced or added to DBS-KAT, write in your suggestion.
PLEASE ALLOW 6-10 weeks for your order to be processed. Your check will
not be cashed until the two week period your processed order is
shipped. Use the order form provided by this software. Type KAT -O &
press ENTER to print out an order form.

your keyfiles (KATDB.KE? files) or wish to flush inactive (deleted)

database information.
->provide a program that allows complete deletion (including the diskette
DBS-KAT header record) of DBS-KAT information for a given numerical
