- HOW TO REGISTER
-
- If you use Rolodex/2 for more than 15 days, you are expected to register

- Rolodex/2. Plus information of other great products that I have created.
-
- The registration fee is only $20 (US funds).
-
- Updates and bug fixes are free but shipping charge may apply.
- Major new releases might require a small upgrade fee. Users who register
- Rolodex/2 and provide an e-mail address will automatically receive
- updates via e-mail.
-
- For e-mail registrations, you need to use a program called "uudecode" to
- decode the uuencoded file that I email to you. For your information,
- a uuencoded file is a binary file that is converted to text by a program
- called "uuencode". If your mail system rejects large messages, I will
- split the uuencoded file into smaller parts before mailing the parts to
- you, and you will need to edit the messages with a text editor before
- you can decode them.
-
- To register, complete the order form and send a check or money order
- in US funds to:
