InterActive supported software scheme 14th August 1997
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
About the scheme
----------------
Since 1993 InterActive has offered a convenient way to register
non-commercial software. The scheme was launched by Joe Connor to
encourage 'foreign' authors to produce and support English language
versions of their software AND to encourage UK users to register
'foreign' software.
InterActive continues to expand and currently supports over 50
non-commercial titles and 25 different authors and over 2000 registered
users. The authors deserve your support and feedback so if you're
regularly using any unregistered software please register today - you
nearly always get something extra in return:
- Key to remove features reserved for registered users
- Local telephone, post and email support
- Free update service
- No hassle handling foreign currency
- Labelled Master disk and registration letter
Registration fees are set to cover the currency handling, stationary,
media and postage costs incurred in mailing out master disks and
providing support.
Although primarily a UK support scheme everyone is welcome to register
via InterActive as an alternative to registering directly with the
author/s.
The currently supported software is:

===========================================================================
How to register from inside the UK
----------------------------------
1) Use the included ORDER_FM.TXT to select the required software
2) Make sure your name and address is included and *legible*!
3) Make cheques/POs payable to InterActive for the total amount
4) Send the completed order form and payment to InterActive
Additionally from outside the UK
--------------------------------
- Add £1 to your order total to cover postage
- Make certain payment is *in Sterling* drawn on a *UK* bank address
The following methods are known to work:
-Bank draft/cheque
-Eurocheque
-International Post Office cheque payable *in Sterling*
-Cash! Sterling, Dollars and DMs are fine -but at your own risk!
Country specific information
----------------------------
Canada: The Canadian Post Office can issue money orders in *Sterling*.
These are hassle free and inexpensive!
Australia: Australia Post only sell overseas money orders in US dollars
so please get a bank draft made out in Sterling drawn on a
UK bank address.
NZ: Please visit your Post Office and get a money order made out in
*Sterling*.
France: For some reason I'm getting a number of local cheques (i.e.
written in Sterling but drawn on a french bank address.
I can accept these but they cost £5 to negoiate so you must add
an extra £5 to your order total.
Europe: In general Post Office money orders or Eurocheques are the best
way to pay.
USA: What a nightmare! Can I suggest a day trip to a Canadian post
office? I've seen everything from Amex travellers cheques (add
£5 to order total), local cheques (no can do), cash (fine -but
at your own risk).
An International money order (add £5 to order total) made
out in Sterling drawn on a UK banking address is currently
the best solution, sorry! :-(

How long will I have to wait?
-----------------------------
Due to the number of people taking advantage of the registration
service and my other commitments as editor of Atari Computing I can't
always reply as quickly as I'd like to. Often I'm waiting for a new
version or simply too busy earning a living so please be patient!
If you have Internet access
---------------------------
Visit the InterActive websites which includes news and gossip about the
latest versions and downloads of all the latest versions via the web:
URL: http://www.cix.co.uk/~inactive/
If you have ftp access
----------------------
Visit: ftp sofa.dartnet.co.uk
Login as 'ftp' and enter email address as password. The Atari files are
all stashed in the path: /pub/atari/interactive/
If you have a modem but no ftp access
-------------------------------------
You can always obtain the latest English language releases from 42BBS:
SysOp: Colin Fisher-McAllum
Telephone: UK+(0)1256 895106
System: 24 hour/28K8/8N1
Other Bulletin boards and ftp sites are allowed to carry the on-line
archives but because minor updates to the English language version are
sometimes made without changing the version number CIX, 42BBS and the
InterActive website are the places to visit to ensure you have the very
latest versions!
