                     REGISTRATION AND SUPPORT INFORMATION


THE SHAREWARE CONCEPT

  Shareware is licensed commercial software which the authors make available
  on a try-before-you-buy basis.  Users may evaluate a Shareware product for
  a set period, by the end of which they must either pay for the product
  (known as Registration) or stop using it.

  Copying of Shareware, subject to the above conditions, is not only allowed,
  it is encouraged.  Pass copies on to interested friends and colleagues.
  Shareware authors rely on the integrity of users to abide by the conditions
  of the license, and register the product if they want to continue using it.
  Many, like ARK ANGLES, also give added benefits to users who register.


ABOUT THIS PRODUCT

  This program is Shareware, and may be freely copied and distributed subject
  to the terms described in the VENDINFO.DIZ file.  The program may be tried
  out for up to 30 days without charge, after which users should register it
  or cease to use it.

  Note that Shareware does not mean Freeware or Public Domain.  This program
  is licensed software, and copying or using it without paying for it, except
  as provided above, is a breach of copyright.


WHY REGISTER?

  Use of the evaluation product beyond the set evaluation period is a breach
  of copyright and is against the law.  But apart from the legal obligation,
  there are many benefits to be gained from registering.  You will receive:

   o  the very latest version of the program, plus
   o  no time limit, plus
   o  both 16 and 32 bit native versions, plus
   o  the ability to save your files with comments, plus
   o  no more registration reminder messages, plus
   o  additional sample games, plus
   o  bonus software, plus
   o  12 months support direct from the author, plus
   o  eligibility for upgrades and special offers, plus
   o  the satisfaction of supporting value software through Shareware.

  them to clear if they are large amounts), credit cards (AmEx, Bankcard,
  Visa or Mastercard only), bank drafts or postal/money orders.

  Credit cards will always be billed in Australian dollars (A$) so you get
  the latest and best exchange rate.  Cash, cheques, drafts etc can be in
  Australian dollars or your local currency.  Calculate local currency prices
  from any of the published International prices at the current exchange rate.

  There are four easy ways to register:

     customers or ++61-47-588100 for International customers, and leave your

  2. FAX:  If you have a fax card on your computer, then simply edit the file
     ORDERFRM.TXT with all the necessary information, otherwise print it and
     fill it in manually.  Make sure all your credit card info is there, then
     fax it to [phone] for Australian customers or ++61-47-588638 for
