Registering The Star Commander If you wish to, you can register online at "http://sta.c64.org/screg.html". 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 years 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; 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 text, 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, 10 EUR or the equivalent in your own currency (the proposed fee for Hungarians is only 1000 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 send the money by cash in a snail-mail to me. Please, don't send Eurocheques or coins, I can't change them to cash. Don't send personal checks or money orders either because they involve high conversion costs for me, if my bank accepts them at all. My home address is the following: Kovcs Balzs Orsolya u. 5. IV/12. 1204 Budapest Hungary If you register the Commander, the keyfile you get will make those three annoying 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: " in the uppermost lines. If you have an E-mail address, you'll also be put onto the announcement list so that you get a notification about new versions before the release day. If you have no access to the Internet but you're living in Hungary then you can send me a formatted disk and an envelope with stamps and your address on it any time 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. Please, don't distribute your personal keyfile when anyone else can also register the Commander for free. Thank you!
