                         Registering The Star Commander

  The Star Commander is giftware. You can 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 small things that may annoy you when using an unregistered
version 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 upper lines of the 'About the Commander' section of the online help.

  Please, cut and fill in the registration form below. Delete the entries  that
do not apply to you, e.g. you don't have an E-Mail address. 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 into 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 of the Commander.
If you have no access to the Internet and you're living in Hungary  then  print
the form 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: that's what "giftware" is about. 10 US$, 15 DEM or the
equivalent in your own currency would be quite satisfying (the default fee  for
Hungarians is only 500 HUF) 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:

  Kovcs Balzs
  10102086-68701802-00000002
  Budapest Bank Rt., Hungary

or send it by check or by bank notes in a snail-mail (use this method only as a
last resort since snail-mails can easily get lost) to my address:

  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'll see your own registration info in the upper 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 on the release day. If you have no access to the
Internet and you're living in Hungary, you can always send 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 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  that
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  freely
register the Commander. Thank you!

  Since this is the first giftware release  of  the  Commander,  there  are  no
registered users yet. But if you register, you will find your name down here.
