                         Registering The Star Commander

  The Star Commander is giftware. You may use the unregistered version as long
as you wish, it is in no way crippled, there are no nag screens or  delays  in
it and it won't refuse to run even a year after the  installation.  It  is  my
personal will not to put any of these restrictions into the Commander  because
I don't like such "features"  in shareware programs either.  However,  if  you
appreciate the years of work it took  to  create  the  Commander  then  you're
encouraged to register it. My main reason for this is to get some  information
about the people using the Commander all over the  world  when  they  register
but, of course, getting some money won't hurt either.

  There are only two things that may annoy you when using an unregistered copy
of the Commander: first, when you start it, you'll see three extra lines below
the title asking you to register and, second, there is a similar sign  in  the
uppermost lines of the 'About the Commander' section of the online help.

  Please, cut and fill in the registration form below. As a registration info,
you can type a maximum  of  50  characters  that  will  be  displayed  in  the
Commander. Indicate if you want your name to be put to the list of  registered
users below and whether you would like to see the amount of money you paid for
the Commander there or not.

  When you're done, send the form to me in an E-mail. Soon you will receive  a
reply containing a uuencoded keyfile that registers your copy. If you have  no
access to the Internet but you're living in Hungary then print  the  form  out
and send it to me in a snail-mail along with a formatted  disk  and  a  return
envelope with stamps and your address on it - I'm sorry, but I can do  nothing
with non-Hungarian stamps. When registering, you don't have to send any money,
only if you want: this is what "giftware" is  about.  10 USD,  15 DEM  or  the
equivalent in your own currency (the proposed fee for Hungarians is  only  500
HUF) would be quite satisfying but you can send me more or less - it's  up  to
you to decide how much the Commander is worth for you. You  can  transfer  the
money to my bank account (please, note that the money is a "present" from  you
to me):

  Kovcs Balzs
  121-236470
  Postabank
  Jzsef ndor tr 5.
  1920 Budapest, Hungary

  Alternatively, you can send the money by a simple check or by bank notes  in
a snail-mail to me. Please, don't send Eurocheques or coins, I can't  exchange
them to cash. My home address is the following:

  Kovcs Balzs
  Budapest, XX.,
  Orsolya utca 5. IV/12.
  1204, Hungary

  If you register the Commander, the keyfile you get  will  make  those  three
lines disappear forever. If you enter the 'About the Commander' section of the
online help, you  will  see "This copy of The Star Commander is registered to:
<registration info>" in the uppermost lines. If you have  an  E-mail  address,
you'll also be put onto the mailing list so that you  always  get  the  newest
versions in uuencoded E-mails on the release day. If you have no access to the
Internet but you're living in Hungary then you can always send me a  formatted
disk and an envelope with stamps and your address on  it  to  get  the  latest
release. You will always remain a registered user, the keyfile will  be  valid
with all future releases. Your name is optionally going to  be  added  to  the
list of registered users at the end of this file so that everyone sees  you've
already done the right thing.

  As a registered user you won't get other extras because I  can't  offer  you
more: the registered version doesn't have new features over  the  unregistered
version and if you have problems, I'll try to help you independently  of  your
being a registered user or not. However, by registering,  you  can  make  sure
you've made your moral (and optionally your monetary) contribution to  further
development.

  Don't forget that a software worth using is worth buying  and  that  it's  a
lame thing to distribute your personal  keyfile  when  anyone  else  can  also
register the Commander for free. Thank you!
