- InterActive supported software scheme 23rd November 1996
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- About the scheme
- ----------------
- The supported Shareware scheme was started by Joe Connor in 1993 to
- encourage authors to produce and support English language versions of
- their software AND to encourage UK users to register 'foreign' software.
- Recently the scheme was re-launched as InterActive. With currently over
- 1650 registrations the scheme has established the proven benefits of local
- support, which include:
-
- - Key to remove features reserved for registered users available
- - Local telephone, post and Email support
- - Free update service
- - No hassle handling foreign currency
- - Labelled Master disk and registration letter
- - ST-Guide on-line hypertext help (some software)
- - Other software (dependent on disk space)
-
- Registration fees are set to cover the currency handling, stationary,
- media and postage costs incurred in mailing out master disks and providing
- support.
- Although primarily a UK support scheme everyone is welcome to register via
- InterActive as an alternative to registering directly with the author/s.
-
- The currently supported software is:

- How to register from inside the UK
- ----------------------------------
- 1) Use the included ORDER_FM.TXT to select the required software
- 2) Make sure your name and address is included and *legible*!
- 3) Make cheques/POs payable to InterActive for the total amount
- 4) Send the completed order form and payment to InterActive
-
- Additionally from outside the UK
- --------------------------------
- - Add £1 to your order total to cover postage
- - Make certain payment is *in Sterling* drawn on a *UK* bank address
- The following methods are known to work:
- -Bank draft/cheque
- -Eurocheque
- -International Post Office cheque payable *in Sterling*
- -Cash! Sterling, Dollars and DMs are fine -but at your own risk!
-
- Country specific information
- ----------------------------
- Canada: Canadian Post Office money orders made out in *Sterling* are
- perfect and inexpensive!
- Australia: Please visit your Post Office and get a money order made out in
- and NZ *Sterling*.
- France: For some reason I'm getting a number of local cheques (i.e.
- written in Sterling but drawn on a french bank address.
- I can accept these but they cost £5 to negoiate so you must add
- an extra £5 to your order total.
- Europe: In general Post Office money orders or Eurocheques are the best
- way to pay.
- USA: What a nightmare! Can I suggest a day trip to a Canadian post
- office? I've seen everything from Amex travellers cheques (add
- £5 to order total), local cheques (no can do), cash (fine -but
- at your own risk). An International money order (add £5 to
- order total) made out in Sterling drawn on a UK banking address
- is currently the best solution.

- postage (or IRC) and an unlabelled double sided floppy disk. Please state

- 1) The software you'd like updated
- 2) The version you're currently using
-
- How long will I have to wait?
- -----------------------------
- Due to the number of people taking advantage of the service and my other
- commitments as editor of Atari Computing I can't always reply as quickly

- earning a living so please be patient!
