{COMMO} 4.53 March 29, 1991
{COMMO} (tm) is a Telecommunications Program that offers great power, speed
and flexibility in a small, easy-to-use package.

and also the Registration Form provided in this package. Registration allows
you to eliminate the opening advertisement and to personalize your copy of
the program.
A registration fee of $25.00 US is required for continued use. Add $5.00
handling charge for a diskette containing the current release (specify 5.25"
or 3.5"). Mail to:
