- 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.

- Please note that I live in Canada, and a letter costs more to mail to me from

- Canada is 40 cents.
