- HOW TO GET MANUALS AND UPGRADES
- ================================
-
-
- Public Domain
- --------------
- There are different type of programs on this disk. Some will be public domain -
- these are free and you don't have to pay for them. You can copy them and pass on
- the copies to friends. There is nearly always a text file, sometimes called
- README.TXT or just READ.ME, which gives the programmer's name and address. Write
- to him for the latest version.
-
-
- Shareware
- ----------
- Some programs are shareware. The are free for a short period of time, usually
- about a month. If you like the program and intend to carry on using it after a
- month, then you must pay for it. This usually takes the form of a registration
- fee, which also entitles you to the latest version and sometimes, a printed
- manual. There is nearly often a text file, sometimes called README.TXT or just
- READ.ME, which gives the programmer's name and address. There may be a file
- called ORDER.FRM which you can print out and fill in. Use it to order the latest
- version or manual or whatever is being offered. Feel free to copy and pass on
- the program
-
-
- Commercial
- -----------
- The third type of program is a commercial package - either the full program or a
- special demonstration version. This is copyright and you must not pass on copies
- to friends or sell it. The full package is normally sold with one or more
- manuals, which are sometimes quite large. It's often essential to get the
- documentation as it contains full instructions describing how to use the
- program.
-
- If you have a demonstration version, or a full package that isn't the latest
- version on offer, you can usually upgrade and buy the latest version complete
- with manuals, tutorials and other printed material. We negotiate special
- discounts on your behalf and our prices are among the lowest.
-
- There may be a coupon in the disk tutorial pages of the magazine that you can
- cut out, fill in and send off. However, if you want to pay by credit card we can
- upgrade many products for you.
-
- Simply call 051-357 1275 to upgrade your software to the latest version.
