- --------------------------------------------------[SRE 0.980 Registration]---
-
- Registration is not required to run SRE. SRE might be classified as one of
- these types of programs:
-
- Shareware - Yes! SRE is shareware. You are required to register this game
- after 99 years of trial use!
- Freeware - Yes! SRE is freeware. You are not required to pay any fee for
- this program. However, we do give benefits to those who donate
- $15 or more.
- Crippleware - Yes! SRE is slightly crippled! You can't access the bank in
- the unregistered version. (But you don't need the bank to play
- the game.)
- Bogusware - Yes! SRE is bogusware! It will destroy itself after 99 years!
- (If you don't register!) (just kidding!)
-
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Seriously,
-
- Registration° is only $15 (U.S. dollars) for SRE 0.980+, so go ahead and
- register! We want to know some basic information, and also what type of
- system and BBS you are using so that we will know who we are programming
- for. If you have a BBS that is not supported in the door file formats,
- send us the door file format printout or the door file printout and we
- will try to write support for it. Also, we have only tried SRDOOR with
- DOOR.SYS and DORINFO1.DEF, so if you use another type, please let us know
- if it works!
-
- What we do is send you a registration code that you type into SRE and it
- will register itself. We do not create a 'registered version' or send you
- a disk. The reason? In many games, you can register one version and the
- next version requires a new fee for upgrade. For SRE, you get the numbers
- that work in ALL versions of SRE. That way, you will be able to get all
- future versions for free from local BBSes.
-
- NOTE: We do not register this game under handles (for legal purposes).
-
- Non-US persons: Checks / money orders must be US funds from a U.S. bank.
- Otherwise, send US cash or a postal money order.
-
- Make out checks or money orders to "Amit J. Patel". Sorry, NO credit card
- orders. Expect 2-4 weeks to receive your numbers. We try to handle
- everything as fast as possible, but sometimes we have seen that the post
- office takes 6 days to deliver (in Texas), and out-of-state and
- out-of-country might take longer.
-
- Registration is not required in order to run this game, but we'd like
- you to register this game! The benefits of registering are:
-
- ■ Upgrade notices (perhaps)
- ■ Automatic registration of all new versions. See above.
- ■ The Bank - loan, savings, and investments
- ■ More Attack types - chemical and nuclear
- ■ Lack of beep - that annoying beep won't be there!
- ■ BBS Messages - you can put your advertisements (or someone else's)
- to display at the end of the game before it returns to the BBS,
- and you can put a "New User" message for all new players.
-
- Thanks for registering!
-
- --
- ° "Registration" in this game does not imply "shareware"; this program IS
- free, but the "registration fee" is a minimum donation to enable extra
- features in the game. You are NOT required to register.

- Additional Information
-
- Source Code
- It is our policy not to distribute any source code for our games.
- In the future we may release 'toolkits' for programmers to write their
- own games. We are working on an easy-to-use 'most natural' toolkit
- which will require a minimal amount of learning for programmers.
- For example, Turbo Pascal users would still use Writeln, not S_WRITE,
- I_WRITE, L_WRITE, and other strange procedures that other door driver
- kits use. Turbo C++ users would use 'kout <<' instead of 'cout <<'
- (or #define cout kout), so that very little modification has to be
- made to a screen program to make it a modem program. The toolkits
- support COM1 - COM4 in TP, or COM1 - COM8 in TC++, and will be easily
- extendible.
-
- Money
- If you do not have the money to register, please fill out the
- Information Form. This is so that we will know what areas of
- have SRE, and which versions are available. If a newer version
- is available in your area, we can find a BBS for you where you
- may be able to find it. Also, if you want to get rid of the BEEP,
- keep reading the docs! There are secrets for those who read the
- docs.
