Registration
WinJammer is not a free program, but is being distributed under the Shareware
concept. This allows you to evaluate the program to determine whether it is
worth anything, and then buy it if you are going to use it. You must register
the program if you are going to use it.
The version of WinJammer you have is fully featured. If you use WinJammer after
a reasonable evaluation period of two weeks, register the program. If you don't
think WinJammer is worth the money, let me know this too, and I'll see if I can
satisfy you with the next release.
Registration costs $50 US. To register, simply send me a cheque or money order
for $50 US at the address below. Registrations are also accepted through
Software Excitement!, who will accept Visa/Mastercard. For information on
contacting them, please read the Registration topic in the Help file.
I can be reached at:

Please note that I live in Canada, and a letter costs more to mail to me from
the US than a domestic letter would. At the moment, postage from the US to
Canada is 40 cents.

Wrapup
I truly hope you enjoy WinJammer. Please help me distribute this product as
