- Greetings:
-
- Buffalo Creek Software is pleased to announce that we are
- beginning to take upgrade orders for SPITFIRE v3.3. As usual,
- this upgrade of SPITFIRE is FREE. While this upgrade is free,
- there is (in certain instances) a minimal shipping & handling
- fee (see below). SPITFIRE v3.3 is NOT finished and it is not
- ready for release. We are simply beginning to take orders at
- this time for your convenience. Please do not leave messages
- asking when it will be released. It will be released when it is
- completed.
-
- There are far too many improvements and additions in this
- version of SPITFIRE to list them. However, there is a file on
- Buffalo Creek's BBS named WHATSNEW.33 which lists the
- improvements and additions. I would like to quickly mention
- that the new <S>huffle File feature and <L>akota (QWK mail door)
- are just two very nice additions found within SPITFIRE v3.3.
-
- Please find attached a SPITFIRE upgrade request & order
- form. You must complete and return the form with the
- appropriate shipping & handling fee (if any) before we will
- process your upgrade order. All shipping orders will be handled
- in the order in which they are received first and then the
- download orders will be processed in the order in which they are
- received. NO UPGRADE ORDERS WILL BE TAKEN IN THE MESSAGE BASE
- ON THE BBS!! Any such message orders will not be answered but
- will be erased. We are sorry if this seems like a harsh policy,
- but time constraints make it impossible to handle the number of
- messages generated by this upgrade.
-
- Buffalo Creek Software makes updating as painless and
- inexpensive as possible. Listed below are the three (3)
- different means to upgrade from SPITFIRE v3.2 to SPITFIRE v3.3.
-
- 1) In the event you should choose to download your licensed
- copy of SPITFIRE v3.3, your copy will be processed after
- all shipping orders have been processed. When your
- licensed copy of SPITFIRE is ready for download, you will
- be notified by postcard and you will then have 15 days to
- make your download. Please do not leave a message about
- downloading your copy of SPITFIRE v3.3 because answering
- those messages only slows the process down. Your free
- copy of SPITFIRE v3.3 will only be compiled for download
- once for no charge. In the event you fail to make a
- backup and you lose your copy of SPITFIRE v3.3, fail to
- make the download in the allotted 15 day period, fail to
- properly perform the download or otherwise require a
- second compilation of SPITFIRE v3.3, there will be a
- $20.00 charge for recompiling your copy.
-
- 2) Buffalo Creek Software will mail you your licensed copy of
- SPITFIRE v3.3. The shipping & handling fee is $10.00 for
- either 5 1/4" diskettes or for a 3 1/2" diskette. If you
- are outside the North American continent, then the
- shipping & handling fee is $20.00. If you fail to specify
- which size diskette(s) you require, we will ship
- your licensed copy of SPITFIRE v3.3 on 3.5 inch disks.
-
- 3) Buffalo Creek Software will mail you your licensed copy of
- SPITFIRE v3.3 with a new manual. The shipping & handling
- fee is $20.00 for either 5 1/4" diskettes or for a 3 1/2"
- diskette. If you are outside the North American
- continent, then the shipping and handling fee is $30.00.
- If you fail to specify which size diskette(s) you require,
- we will ship your licensed copy of SPITFIRE v3.3 on 3.5"
- disks.
-
- These upgrade procedures do NOT apply to persons that are
- not licensed to operate SPITFIRE v3.2 and/or persons who are not
- operating SPITFIRE. Further, to be eligible for these upgrade
- procedures you must have your account paid to date with Buffalo
- Creek Software. In other words, if you registered SPITFIRE v3.1
- but did not upgrade to v3.2, you are not entitled to the above
- upgrade offer. This policy was not implemented to make things
- difficult but rather to simplify things for you as well as for
- us here at Buffalo Creek Software. It is much too difficult, if
- not impossible, to update if versions have been skipped. We
- take this opportunity to thank you for your continued support
- and promotion of SPITFIRE and other Buffalo Creek Software
- products. Our small company is growing rapidly and we credit
- you for this growth.
-
- Please accept this as a request for you to take the time to
- make a note on the back side of the blue upgrade form to let us
- know if you plan to attend the 1993 SPITFIRE Sysops Conference
- to be held (TENTATIVELY) June 19, 20 & 21. Further, since the
- conference will be conducted in a workshop format, any
- suggestions regarding content and/or speakers will be welcome at
- this time.
-
- Looking forward to receiving your order and with best
- wishes, I am,
-
-
- Sincerely yours,
-
