This program is being published as shareware. This means you get the chance
to use the program for up to 30 days, free of charge. If you decide to use
the program after the initial 30 days, you are required to register it with
the author..... me!
This program is of the highest quality, fully functional, and as bug-free
as possible. While that was a task in itself, it did involve quite a bit of
my time to bring you this software. Hence, we authors appreciate your
patronage and the small registration fee which is depending on the product
you want to license:
SPTEST - $20.00 - Serial port Diagnostic
LPTRST - $15.00 - Parallel port/printer status detection
LETTER - $10.00 - How many drive letters are assigned
CATDOS - $25.00 - FoxPro v2.0 application to convert CIS catalogs
into standard xBase database files (DBF's).
CATWIN - $25.00 - FoxPro/Win v2.5, or higher, version of CATDOS
Registering the product will get you the following:
- 2 updates sent to you automatically
- automatic notice of new BCI Associates products
- troubleshooting assistance for product-related matters
- automatic free upgrades for bug fixes
- discounts for registering multiple BCI Assoc. products
- lifetime support of the product
- my undying gratitude
Terms of Support
BCI Associates will actively support any _registered_ user of our products
with either CompuServe email or telephone support. This does not, however,
include troubleshooting your hardware and/or software problems not directly
related to our products. If you need such support, BCI Associates offers
that support as a separate chargeable item. Contact BCI Associates at the
methods above if you desire this additional support.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Program Updates
BCI Associates updates their products periodically to support new features
and functions. When these updates occur, we post them on the CompuServe
Information Service, and on the ZiffNet Information Service which can be
accessed either thru CompuServe, or directly into ZiffNet. Users may go to
a number of forums to download the software, or BCI Associates will email
the update directly to them thru CompuServe Mail as a binary transfer.
For those users obtaining BCI Associates products via bulletin boards, or
in any non-CompuServe medium, we will mail the update for a nominal handling
fee of $5.00 per update.
Each registered user will recieve 2 updates in between major releases. The
cost of these updates will be 30% of the original cost of the product plus
any mailing fees, if required. When major new releases are issued, it is
treated as if it was newly posted. The new fee would be announced at that
time.
Example: User registers SPTEST. Initial fee is $20; each of the 2 updates
recieved would cost $6 (30% of the initial fee) plus any
mailing costs.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Online registering with CompuServe
CompuServe offers an online registering of programs. You may register thru
them for any of our products, or send payment directly to us. Checks or
Money Orders drawn upon a US bank is accepted. Pennslyvania residents add 6%
state tax. If you choose to register the product online, you will be billed
to your CompuServe account for the amount of the product. The cost of the
updates are not reflected in the online cost. You should send update fees
directly to us at the address above as CompuServe charges you for the whole
