- REGME is a small utility program provided by Lakes Region Emergency
- Services to allow you to "register" a newer version of one of our
- programs with the same update code we gave you when you registered.
-
- One philosophy we have here and will continue to have, is once you
- buy one of our commercial applications or register one of our
- shareware utilities, you are entitled to subsequent releases of that
- product as well at no additional charge.
-
- REGME requires the following pieces of information in order to "register"
- a program to you:
- the program name (UTIL.EXE for example)
-
- Registered Name (spelling counts !)
-
- Serial number (8 numbers)
-
- Update code (8 numbers)
-
- For a period of time in mid 1993, the "update codes" that were given out
- to those who registered were incorrect. Don't worry though, you can
- tell and correct your code if this applies to you.
-
- If your update code is 6 characters it is wrong, if it is 8 characters
- then it is correct. Lets say your code is wrong and the code we gave
- you was 123456. You need to do the following to it to come up with your
- correct code.
- 1. Take the last two numbers. (56)
- 2. Take the first two numbers and place a zero
- in front of it. (012)
- 3. Take the middle two numbers and place a zero
- in front of them. (034)
- 4. The resulting number is your correct update code.
- (56012034 in this example)
-
- To "register" a program, put REGME.EXE in the same directory as the
- program you are trying to register. Type REGME progname and the
- program will prompt you for the rest of the information. For example
- to register a program called UTIL.EXE you would type REGME UTIL.EXE
- and enter the information requested.
-
- REGME is provided free of charge to registered users of our programs as
- long as it is not modified or used for anyone's programs but our own.
-
- Note: REGME will modify the program when it's registered and this may
- cause some virus detection programs to sound-off. REGME will only
- change the program you specify on the command line so this should ease
- any concerns about the REGME containing an actual virus as your virus
- detection software shouldn't sense anything besides the one program.

- programs, contact us at:
