This program is shareware. You can distribute the unregistered version (Kyodai.exe and Kyodai-L.exe) freely around you, on any support (including CD-Rom). You are not allowed to distribute a modified version of it without my authorization. You can try it freely for a period of one month, after which you are invited to register if you continue to use it. Registering will remove all the reminders from the game.

No warranty or guarantee is implied or given and none of the authors of Kyodai can be held responsible for any problems that could be encountered during its use.

WHAT REGISTERING WILL BRING YOU

•	No more reminders during the game.
•	Perpetual FREE upgrades (simply download the new versions from my website). This means that you won't have to pay anymore after that to get any new version of Kyodai. I've been updating it since early 1997 and I'm still very excited with my game, so I don't see any reason why I should stop developing it. Just look at the "What's New" file to see how many upgrades I've released so far ! Please note : if you don't have access to the Internet, you can still have your free upgrades by sending to Helene's address a floppy disk (for the latest Light version) and an international reply coupon (or stamps if you are in France).
•	Free e-mail support. But please read the documentation and my website before sending me any bug report or other question !!
•	You'll be satisfied to know that you contributed to the development of your dear Kyodai, and that your registration fee allowed its author to eat cheese-burgers for at least one more week.

HOW TO REGISTER

The registration price is US$20 (Twenty US dollars) by cash or US$22.95 with the online registration system (the extra $$ are for the registration company). You have three ways to pay :

1/ Cash -- Price : $20. You can simply send a twenty-dollar bill ($20.00 US) to :

	Helene ROGER
	52 rue des Bons Enfants
	13006 MARSEILLE
	FRANCE

Please note that Helene is not involved in the creation of Kyodai itself. Please don't ask her too technical questions about it. Also, she does NOT speak all the languages featured in Kyodai. Neither do I ! So, when you write to Helene or to Naoki, please try to do it only in English or in French ! I repeat : DO NOT write in anything else than English or French, please. We did not write the help file translations ourselves ! ;-)

Sorry, we can NOT accept anything else than cash (any currency equivalent to US$20), or checks in French Francs (120ff à l'ordre de René-Gilles Deberdt). Checks in other currencies and money orders will be rejected, even Eurocheques and checks in Euros. Don't forget to tell us the version you presently use, your e-mail address (if you have one) and a User Name of at least 8 characters (your first and last names, like "Helen Smith", will be fine and preferred to anything like "han-a10kq67bz-solo").

2/ Online (Credit card, Check, Fax, Phone) -- Price : $22.95. By far the quickest way to register. You must have an Internet access.

- Go to http://www.getsoftware.com/cgi/verify.gs?cart=171
- Follow the on-line order process
- Enter your e-mail address. If your e-mail address is rejected, please ask for help at sales@getsoftware.com
- You will receive your user name and password immediately (and automatically) after the order is confirmed. Press F9 in Kyodai and enter them to be registered in seconds ! If you happen to lose your password (hard drive crash, etc), read the Miscellaneous help file to find out how to get it back.

HOW TO UPGRADE

All upgrades are free for registered users. Just get the latest version and install it !

HOW TO ENTER YOUR REGISTRATION INFORMATION

Once you receive your user name and password, launch Kyodai, go to the "Help" menu and look for the "Register" menu item. Click on it. Enter your user name in the "User name" box (please note that it's case-sensitive), and your password in the... "Password" box. Make sure you don't make a mistake. You can copy & paste the information from your e-mail program (select the password for example, press Ctrl+C, go to Kyodai, in the Password box, and press Ctrl+V). Then, click on the "Register" button. Now, Kyodai should be free of reminders !
