SHAREWARE REGISTRATION

This software is shareware, and is distributed to be used for a limited
trial period of 30 days. You are free to copy and distribute this
software in unmodified form. After the 30 day period the software
should be registered or removed from the user's system.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
HOW TO REGISTER
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
When I receive your order and payment, I will send you your registration
number (and instructions on how to enter it in the program) by email as soon
as possible. (So please do not forget to mention your email address when
you place your order.)
The price for a single copy is US$10.
Please note that refunds are not possible.
Wisdom Quotes is shareware, so you have the opportunity to try it out
before you buy it.
The following methods of payment are acceptable:
1. Ordering with a credit card
2. Ordering without a credit card
1. Ordering with a credit card
==============================
Credit card orders are handled for me by Kagi, Inc. (http://www.kagi.com),
a service agency which handles hundreds of other authors. You can choose to
purchase online via Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, Diners Club,
or First Virtual at the following locations:
Secure order form at "http://order.kagi.com/?J7N&S".
Non-secure order form at "http://order.kagi.com/?J7N".
This method is the most convenient, and yields the quickest turnaround of
your license key. Do not send technical support questions to Kagi, as this
will only serve to delay your response.
For this method, you must use the "REGISTER.EXE" program included to fill
out the order form. The completed form can then be emailed to Kagi, Inc..
The Register program includes on-line help containing instructions for use.
2. Ordering without a credit card
=================================
If you do not have a credit card, you CANNOT order through Kagi, Inc.
You will have to send your order directly to me by printing and filling out
the registration form.
Mail the registration form to this address:
Chan Kok Leong
C/O Lee Kong Choong
PO Box 693,
30780 Ipoh, Perak
West Malaysia
Cheques are to be drawn in favour of Chan Kok Leong and sent to the above
postal address.
Malaysian can also directly transfer the money to my bank account. Contact
me at samchan@kagi.com for my bank account number.
The last option (for single user only) is to send me the registration form
and include US$10 in cash (wrapped in thick paper to make the cash less
obvious). But this is entirely at your own risk.
