- Postage and handling are included, with USPS air mail to anywhere in the
- world. Please indicate US dollars on bank checks or money orders. Sorry, I
- have no way to take credit cards. Site licensing and product licensing terms
- are available.

- Why support the Tech Ref instead of relying on one of those public domain
- "interrupt lists"? Sheer size, for one. Even in LHarc format the Tech Ref
- bulks out to over a megabyte, making it too large for many sysops to consider
- keeping online. You'll get support from me via my BBS or various commercial
- services. You get the very latest edition of this manual on disk, with no
- worries about corrupted or tampered text. The Tech Ref is a quality product,
- in use by the US Navy, CalTech, Borland, NEC, Wang, General Motors, Citcorp,
- Rockwell, Honeywell, Digital Research, Central Point, hospitals, universities,
- and government agencies around the world.
-
- The Registered User reference consists of three 360k diskettes of the
- reference, appendices, references and sample source code. That's about three
- megabytes of raw data when uncompressed, or several times larger than the
- shareware version.
-
- The Registered User version contains information on device drivers, mouse
- programming, Virtual Control Program Interface, Microsoft Windows, hard
- drives, hardware information, virus and Trojan programs, EMS 3.2, LIM 4.0,
- EEMS 3.2, CD-ROM, network programming, DOS 3.31 and 4.0, and more.
-
- Registered users may obtain updates by merely mailing a set of disks and
- a mailer with return postage, or a flat $7 for a new set of disks and
- postage. Significant changes will probably accumulate over the course of a
- couple of months.
-
- Several people who have downloaded copies over two years old have written to
- see if I was still supporting the Reference. The answer is yes. Not only that,
- but my book contract calls for keeping the information current. If you're
- concerned, just drop a postcard.
