- are paying for and send it in with your order.
-

- outside U.S., include $3 extra for postage. (NOTE: All checks must have
- routing numbers at the bottom of them, to avoid processing charges.)
-
- When you register, include the Serial Number of the Uedit you are using. You
- can see the serial number by selecting "Show vals" in the menu.
-
- Uedit registration is $45. When you register, you will receive:
- * a registered user Serial Number.
- * $15 sales commissions for finding new users.
- * the latest Uedit-Share diskette which can be freely distributed.
- * the latest Non-Shareware Uedit which can be fully customized.
- * Extras, configs and utilities to use with Uedit. (See Extras below.)

- your original, purchased disk and $23.
-
- As a registered user, you will earn a $15 commission each time somebody
- registers off your serial numbered copy of Uedit.
-
- The quarterly Newsletter discusses new upgrades and features, editing tricks,
- new commands, configs created by users, frequently asked questions,
- complaints and requested features, plans for future upgrades, bugs, and other
- topics.
-
- (BUG NOTE: Uedit has the handy feature of letting you Ctrl-click-load any
- filename in any buffer. However, early versions of the C Ltd TimeSaver block
- out the ctrl-mouseclick input. In order for Ctrl-click-loading to work, you
- must remove your C Ltd TimeSaver completely. Turning it off won't do.)

- Distributing Uedit
-
- I really do encourage you to give away copies of your Uedit-Share diskette.
- When you give away copies, you must observe the following restrictions:
-
- *** You must distribute ALL of Uedit's Shareware files together:
- Cheat-Sheet Config! Data! Help!
- NoName.info Uedit-Policy Uedit-ReadMe UES
- UES.info Key-Help
-
- *** You must NOT MODIFY any files except for putting your serial number
- into UES.
- *** You must NOT distribute copies of UE or the printed or diskette Manual
- or Uedit's command language documentation.
- *** You MUST use Uedit COPYRIGHT notices on Uedit files.
- *** You MUST use Uedit TRADEMARK notices on "Uedit".
-
- You may include your own files along with Uedit, put files on several
- diskettes, distribute files via modem, or compress files, as long as their
- contents remain unchanged.
-
- You may print, copy, and distribute the Help!, Cheat-Sheet and other text
- files on your Uedit-Share diskette.
-
- Amiga clubs may want to encourage their members to register off the club's
- registered copy, as a good way to earn money for the club.
-
- NOTE: Do NOT tell people to register by subtracting your commission from the
- amount they send in. This is Important: If I allow people to subtract off
- the commission, users can be cheated out of commissions they are entitled to.
- You must give them a signed note to include when they register or contact me
- personally, so that I have got proof that you are waiving your commission.
-
- Please EARN commissions! In distributing Uedit and encouraging new
- registrations, you will be supporting good programming for Amiga Shareware.
-
- And your feedback is important too. Most of the improvements in Uedit since
- the beginning have been in response to feedback from its users.
-
-
- Revision Numbering
-
- When a new revision comes out, the old revision number is incremented by 0.1.
- Thus, if the current revision is V2.3, the next upgrade will be V2.4.
-
- When bugs are found in a new release, the fixed version will have a letter of
- the alphabet appended to the revision number. Thus, when V2.2 came out and
- bugs were fixed, the fixed version became V2.2a. When more fixes were
- required, the new fixed version became V2.2b. And so on.
-
- If you own a version such as V2.3 and bugs are found in it and a version
- V2.3a is released, you can obtain V2.3a by sending in your V2.2a diskettes
- and $2 or a self addressed, stamped diskette mailer.

- Uedit and Shareware
-
-
- Shareware is a generous, trusting concept which treats you like an honest
- person, rather than presuming that you are not, as, for instance, copy
- protection does.
-
- Shareware programs have got to be superior, because you get to try them out
- thoroughly at home or in the office before buying them. Many commercial
- programs would not survive this acid test.
-
- You are allowed to try out a Shareware program for as long as you require, in
- order to decide whether you are going to use it or not.
-
- When "trying out" becomes "using", you are obliged to pay for the program.
- Only then does the Shareware author get paid for his work and expenses for
- creating the program you are using.
-
- Uedit depends entirely upon:
- * Your sense of self responsibility.
- * Your cooperation in safeguarding Uedit's Shareware "hooks" and
- protections, by not distributing its Non-Shareware files.
- * Your assistance in finding new support.
-
- Thank you for supporting Uedit in Shareware!
