- About SoftCode
- --------------
-
- SoftCode is a completely new method of storing and transfering program
- and data files. Softcode generates codenumbers from executable program
- files and vice versa. So it isn't necessary anymore to store the complete
- binary files. Just enter the codenumber - Softcode generates the file
- for you.
-
- Sounds incredible, but it really works !
-
- SoftCode adds a new dimension to transfering files:
-
- - If you just finished writing a new computer program and now you want
- to send it to a friend, simply generate the codenumber, call him via
- telephone and tell him this number. Your friend will enter it into
- his Amiga and SoftCode will generate the file for him.
-
- - If you need an update from a software company, they don't need to send
- any disks to you. They'll tell you the codenumber needed for the update.
- You'll enter it and SoftCode generates the updated files.
-
- - You can order software via telephone, just like IBM users do it with their
- pay-CD. The difference is that you don't need the CD :-)
-
- - You can store the codenumbers in files so that you don't need to enter
- them every time you need a file. You don't need the binary files anymore
- so delete them.
