Tools Plus updates and major upgrades are available by disk through conventional mail.
We can also send you software updates electronically (by email). We encourage you to take advantage of this service because it gets information and software to you almost instantaneously, and keeps our costs down so that we can continue to offer free software updates and free support. The savings go right back to you.
We always send an advanced notification telling you an archive will be heading your way in a few days. This way, you can decide not to download the file if it’s too big for your convenience.
To be capable of receiving updates electronically from Water’s Edge Software, you must have the necessary email components and software as detailed below:
(1) You need an Email Account
--- AOL ---
--- CompuServe ---
If you have an AOL or CompuServe account, we can send you a compressed archive by way of a file enclosure in a mail message. When receiving such an enclosure, you pay only for connect time with your service. A typical update will take only a few minutes with a 9600 bps modem. If you determine the file is too big to download conveniently, you can always send us an email and ask us to mail you a disk.
--- Internet and Other Email Systems ---
Your email account must be capable of receiving large messages, often larger than 100K, and sometimes exceeding 1MB (or 1000K). Some email systems segment incoming mail into smaller chunks (usually of less than 32K) and require that the message be reassembled before it is decoded and decompressed. AppleLink is an example of such systems.
If you are running a “pure” Internet account (or have access to one), it may be as simple as using a different application for your email to prevent segmentation, such as Eudora (a shareware email app that can send and receive very large enclosures). Alternatively, you can ask your email administrator to increase the file size threshold at which enclosures become segmented.
(2) You need BinHex and decompression software
When sent by email, our updates are compressed by StuffIt Deluxe and encoded with BinHex 4.0 to allow transmission on a text-only medium such as Internet.
You will need an application that can decode the BinHexed file and decompress it. An excellent application that does this is Aladdin System’s “StuffIt Expander.” The latest version is 3.0.7, and it is available as freeware from most bulletin boards.
When sent to CompuServe accounts, our updates are compressed by StuffIt Deluxe (they are not BinHexed since CIS allows enclosure of binary files). StuffIt Expander will do an excellent job at decompressing these archives.
You will become a registered user when you receive your Tools Plus Registered Developer package, which includes:
• the latest version of Tools Plus on a disk
• a printed Tools Plus User Manual
• a Software License for Registered Developers
You must abide by the terms and conditions of the Evaluation License until you received your Tools Plus Registered Developer package from Water’s Edge Software.
