- 1. Registration
-
- This archive contains the freely distributable version of MachV V5.0.
- It may be distributed as long as all files are maintained intact and
- only a nominal fee (no more than $5.00) is charged for media and postage.
-
- There are only small differences between this and the registered version.
-
- The registered version...
-
- ...does NOT have the "startup" window.
-
- ...allows unlimited macros.
-
- ...is about 2k smaller.
-
- ...is probably at least one release ahead of the un-registered version.
-
- ...also includes versions of MachV and SetMachV compiled for 68020+.
-
- ...includes documentation in French or German.
-
- Reasons to register:
-
- 1. All of the above.
-
- 2. It is still only $15.00.
-
- 3. Receive updates for as little as $2.00. MachV has been supported
- since 1987, perhaps longer than any other shareware program for the
- Amiga.
-
- 4. Free telephone support.
-
- 5. Enjoy a clean conscience.
-
-
- The price is the same for foreign orders. Canadian users may send $15.00
- in US dollars or a Canadian check (plus exchange rate adjustment currently
- a total of $19.00). Upgrades are also the same, $2.00.
-
- Foreign users may send a $15.00 check drawn on a US bank or $15.00 cash
- in a (preferably) registered letter. Please...No EuroCheques. There is
- a $15 dollar fee to process these.
-
- Make checks payable to Brian Moats.
-
- Please print your name and address clearly! If you have any questions
- or problems, include them and they will be answered in a note on your
- disk.
-
- For convenience, use the included "Registration.form".
