╤╫╦╥╥128 ╓2.1, ╓2.2 UPDATES.  - ╥OD ╟ASSON ╧CT '92

╚I PEOPLES.
 ┬EFORE ╔ GO INTO THE THE DETAILS OF THIS UPGRADE PACKAGE YOU SHOULD
FIRSTLY FAMILIARISE YOURSELF WITH THE ╤╫╦╥╥128 ╓1.XX OR ╓2.0 DOCUMENTS.
╘HE DOCUMENTATION CONTAINED WITH THESE VERSIONS GIVE FULL DETAILS ON
HOW TO USE THE ╤╫╦╥╥ PROGRAM. ╞URTHERMORE ╓1.XX VERSIONS ALSO CONTAIN A
CONDENCED VERSION OF ├╙-─╧╙ ┴╥├ MODULES TO MAKE PACKING & UNPACKING
YOUR MAIL PACKETS A BREEZE.
╘HE NOTES CONTAINED HERE ARE MAINLY TO HELP FAMILIARISE YOU WITH THE
DIFFERENCES BETWEEN ╓2.0, ╓2.1 AND ╓2.2.
╨LEASE NOTE THAT ╓2.2 IS THE ╞╔╬┴╠ RELEASE OF ╤╫╦╥╥128. ┴S FAR AS ╔ AM
CONCERNED THIS PROGRAM HAS REACHED ITS LIMIT OF DEVELOPMENT. ╔ WILL BE
USING ALL THAT ╔ HAVE LEARNED WITH THIS PROGRAM TO TAKE THE ╤╫╔╦╥┼┴─
PROGRAM TO BEYOND THE CURRENT STATUS OF ╤╫╦╥╥128. ╔N OTHER WORDS
ALTHOUGH THE ╤╫╦╥╥ PROJECT IS NOW FINISHED ╔T IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME
BEFORE ╤╫╔╦╥┼┴─ WILL HAVE ALL THE SAME FACILITIES AS ╤╫╦╥╥ BUT WITH THE
ADDED BENEFITS OF BEING HEAPS FASTER AND WILL BE EASIER TO ADD OTHER
NICE FEATURES SUCH AS USER DEFINED TAGLINES, TAGLINE STEALING PLUS A
FEW OTHER "NICETIES" THAT ╔ SIMPLY CANNOT (EASILY) INCORPERATE INTO
╤╫╦╥╥ IN ITS CURRENT FORMAT. ╔ THINK ONE LOOK AT ╤╫╔╦╥┼┴─ AND YOU WILL
APPRECIATE THAT ╔ AM MOVING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.

╬OW THE IMPORTANT STUFF..  THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE ╓2.XX VERSIONS.
╘HE MOST SIGNIFICANT CHANGES FROM ╓2.0 AND 2.1 ARE:
1. ╔T WILL NOW WORK PROPERLY WITH ┬┬╙'S CONTAINING MORE THAN 255
CONFERENCES.
2. ╘RUE TAGLINES ARE NOW BEING USED (STARTING WITH "...")
3. ┴ BUG WAS ELIMINATED WHEREBY MESSAGES THAT WERE AN EVEN MULTIPLE OF
128 BYTES WERE BEING CORRUPTED.
4. ╨OSSIBLY OTHER MINOR CHANGES THAT ╔ CAN'T RECALL.

╘HE CHANGES BETWEEN ╓2.1 AND ╓2.2 ARE AS FOLLOWS.
1. ╥EGISTERED USERS CAN NOW DISSABLE THE FLASHING TAGLINES (DETAILS
LATER)
2. ╥EGISTERED USERS CAN NOW DEFINE THEIR OWN TAGLINE VIA THE DEFAULTS
FILE.
3. ╔ HAVE REVERSED THE POSITION OF THE ╘╧/╞╥╧═ FIELDS. ╨LEASE NOTE THAT
THIS CHANGE HAS BEEN MADE AT THE REQUEST OF A COUPLE OF REGISTERED
USERS. ╨ERSONALLY ╔ AM HAPPY WITH IT EITHER WAY. ╔F ANYONE OBJECTS TO
THIS CHANGE THEN PLEASE LET ME KNOW.
4. ┴╠╠ COPIES OF ╓2.2 BEING POSTED TO ╒╙┴ WILL HAVE THE CLOCK FIXED FOR
60╚Z OPERATION, THEREBY KEEPING CORRECT TIME.
5. ┴ FIX HAS BEEN DEVISED WHEREBY WITH SOME ┬┬╙'S A REGISTERED VERSION
WOULD CONFIGURE AS UNREGISTERED BECAUSE OF PADDING IN THE CALLERS NAME
IN THE CONTROL.DAT FILE.
6. ╘HE AUTO-NETMAIL FORMATTING ROUTINES HAVE BEEN MODIFIED SO THAT THEY
WILL NOW WORK WITH ┬┬╙'S THAT SUPPORT ╤═┴╔╠ ├╧═╨┴╘╔┬╠┼ FORMAT (AS
OPPOSED TO "TRUE" ╤MAIL FORMAT). ─UE TO THE NATURE OF THESE ROUTINES ╔
CAN'T GUARANTEE THAT IT WILL WORK ON ALL SYSTEMS OF THIS FORMAT (IT HAS
BEEN TESTED ON ─IAMOND ┬AR ┬┬╙ WITHOUT PROBLEMS), AND THERE IS A
"SLIGHT" POSSIBILITY THAT IN MAKING THESE CHANGES ╔ *MAY* HAVE "BROKEN"
IT FOR OTHER SYSTEMS. ╘HIS SHOULDN'T BE OF TOO MUCH CONCERN THOUGH
BECAUSE ╤╫╦ ISN'T SUPPOSED TO SUPPORT NETMAIL ANYWAY, AND NO OTHER ╤╫╦
READER ON ┴╬┘ PLATFORM HAS EVEN ATTEMPTED TO DO THIS SORT OF
ORGANISATION (TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE THAT IS). ╔F IT WORKS OK FOR
YOU THE GREAT, IF IT DOESN'T THEN SIMPLY PRETEND THAT IT ISN'T SUPPOSED
TO BE THERE ANYWAY <GRIN>


┴PART FROM BEING MORE RELIABLE WITH MORE ┬┬╙'S THE ONLY THINGS THAT YOU
WILL NEED TO KNOW ABOUT ARE THE CHANGES IN THE ─┼╞┴╒╠╘╙ FILE. ╞OR THE
MOST PART THIS DEFAULTS FILE IS IDENTICAL TO THE DEFAULTS FILE IN ╓2.0,
HOWEVER IT DOES HAVE ╘╫╧ EXTRA LINES ADDED. ╘HE FIRST ADDITION WILL
AFFECT THE ╤╫╦╥╥ TAGLINE ONLY. ╔T COMES PRESET WITH THE VALUE OF #15,
WHICH WILL MAKE THE ╤╫╦╥╥ TAGLINE FLASH. ╘O DISABLE THIS FLASH YOU MUST
CHANGE THIS LINE TO #143 (FLASH OFF). ╔T ╔╙ POSSIBLE TO USE OTHER
VALUES (EG #2 WILL CAUSE THE LINE TO BE UNDERLINED), BUT ╔ DO RECOMMEND
AGAINST IT AS IT MAY HAVE UNDESIRABLE RESULTS. #15 OR #143 (FLASH
ON/FLASH OFF) ARE THE ONLY VALUES ╔ RECOMMEND.
╘HE NEXT LINE IN THE DEFAULTS FILE (ALSO THE LAST LINE) CAN CONTAIN
YOUR OWN PERSONAL TAGLINE. ╘HIS MUST BE IN STANDARD COMMODORE FORMAT
(NOT ASCII). ╘HERE ARE NO CHECKS MADE ON THE LENGTH OF THIS LINE, IT IS
UP TO YOU TO ENSURE YOU DON'T EXCEDE ANY LINE LENGTH LIMITATIONS.
╤╫╦╥╥128 WILL DISPLAY "YOUR" TAGLINE ON THE FIRST SCREEN WHEN THE
PROGRAM IS FIRST LOADED. ╨LEASE NOTE THAT ANY CHANGES MADE HERE WILL
ONLY COME INTO EFFECT WITH REGISTERED VERSIONS ONLY. ┴ PROGRAM THAT
CONFIGURES AS UNREGISTERED WILL USE THE INTERNAL TAGLINE

╫ELL, ╔ *THINK* THAT IS ALL THERE IS TO SAY ABOUT ╤╫╦╥╥, SO NOW ╔ SHALL
GIVE YOU SOME INFO ABOUT ╤╫╔╦╥┼┴─.

╞IRSTLY, AS WITH MY OTHER "PRE-RELEASE" OF ╤WIKREAD, THIS PROGRAM IS
UNFINISHED AND UNDOUBTABLY HAS A BUG OR THREE. ╚OWEVER UNLIKE THE
EARLIER PRE-RELEASE THIS TIME ╔ DO WISH TO BE INFORMED OF ANY PROBLEMS
YOU MAY FIND. ╞OR THE MOST PART IT APPEARS TO BE QUITE RELIABLE BUT DUE
TO THE WAY IT WORKS THERE IS ALSO SOME RESPONSIBILITY REQUIRED ON YOUR
PART TO AVOID PROBLEMS.
╤WIKREAD CAN IN SOME WAYS BE CONSIDERED A "HYBRID" PROGRAM IN THAT IT
IS ATTEMPTING TO MAKE THE BEST OUT OF TWO WORLDS. ┴S WITH ALL MY ╤╫╦
PROGRAMS THE AIM IS TO ALLOW THE READING OF OFFLINE MAIL IN AS SHORT A
TIME AS POSSIBLE, AND WITH DISK SPACE THE ONLY LIMITATION OF PACKET
SIZE. - ╘HE QUICKEST WAY TO ACHIEVE THIS AIM IS TO READ THE MESSAGES
FROM START TO FINISH WITH NO PRE-ORGANISATION OF THE DATA FIELDS (AS IS
DONE WITH ├╥╥). ╘HE "DOWNFALL" OF THIS METHOD IS THAT IT IS NOT
POSSIBLE TO READ ANY PARTICULAR MESSAGE AT ANY GIVEN TIME AND YOU
CANNOT STOP READING A MAIL PACKET AND PICK UP WHERE YOU LEFT OF AT A
LATER TIME. ╘HE ╤WIKREAD PROGRAM HAS TACKLED THIS PROBLEM IN THAT IT
WILL CREATE ITS OWN INDEX & POINTER FILES AS THE MESSAGES ARE BEING
READ. ╘HEREFORE ONCE YOU HAVE READ A MESSAGE YOU CAN GO BACK AND
RE-READ IT SIMPLY BY ENTERING ITS NUMBER. ┘OU CAN ALSO QUIT THE PROGRAM
AT ANY TIME AND CARRY ON FROM WHERE YOU LEAVE OFF AT A LATER DATE. ╔F
YOU ENTER A MESSAGE NUMBER GREATER THAN THE HIGHEST MESSAGE READ THE
PROGRAM WILL WORK THROUGH EACH MESSAGE AND DISPLAY THE MESSAGE HEADERS
AS THEY ARE BEING PROCESSED. ┘OU CAN ABORT THIS PROCESS AT ANY TIME BY
PRESSING ANY KEY. YOU ONLY NEED ENTER ANOTHER HIGHER NUMBER TO CONTINUE
THE PROCESS. ╬O MATTER HOW HIGH A NUMBER YOU ENTER THE PROGRAM WILL
STOP WHEN IT REACHES THE LAST MESSAGE IN THE PACKET, THEREFORE IF YO
WISH TO INDEX THE ENTIRE PACKET YOU ONLY NEED ENTER ANY REASONABLY
LARGE NUMBER (EG #1000). ╘HIS IS THE EQUIVILENT OF ├╥╥'S ╤╫╦ CONVERSION
PROCESS.
╬EEDLESS TO SAY NOW THAT ╔ HAVE THESE ROUTINES WORKING IT IS ONLY A
MATTER OF TIME BEFORE ╤WIKREAD WILL HAVE FULL FACILITIES FOR READING
MESSAGES BY SUBJECT MATTER, OR TO/FROM A PARTICULAR PERSON AND ALL THE
OTHER "LUXURIES" THAT SOME PEOPLE REQUIRE.
┴LTHOUGH ╔ STILL HAVEN'T GOT THE REPLY ROUTINES WORKING YOU CAN STILL
REPLY TO MESSAGES BY "WITTLEING" THE FILES YOU WISH TO REPLY TO THEN
RENAMING THE "WITTLE" FILE TO "MESSAGES.DAT" AND THEN REPLYING VIA
╤╫╦╥╥128. ┴S WITH THE FIRST RELEASE OF ╤WIKREAD A CHECK IS MADE FOR THE
PRE-EXISTANCE OF A "WITTLE" FILE AND IF FOUND MESSAGES ARE SIMPLY
APPENDED TO THIS FILE, OTHERWISE A NEW "WITTLE" FILE IS CREATED. ╒NLESS
YOU HAVE GOOD REASON FOR DOING SO YOU SHOULD NEVER "WITTLE" ONTO A FILE
FROM A DIFFERENT MAIL PACKET.
┼XPORT WILL SEND THE CURRENT MESSAGE TO DISK IN ╙┼╤ FORMAT. ╘HESE
EXPORTED MESSAGES ARE CALLED MSG1, MSG2, MSG3 ETC. ╨LEASE NOTE THAT
UNLIKE THE EARLIER QWIKREAD PROGRAM A CHECK IS NOW MADE FOR THE
PRE-EXISTANCE OF THESE FILES AND A COUNTER IS INCREMENTED WITH EACH
MATCH UNTIL A UNIQUE FILENAME IS FOUND (YOU WILL SEE THIS INCREMENTING
ON SCREEN.

═OST KEY OPTIONS ARE DISPLAYED ON SCREEN, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF ╙╨┴├┼,
╥┼╘╒╥╬/┼╬╘┼╥ AND ┼╙├.
╙PACE/RETURN/ENTER ALL PERFORM THE SAME FUNCTION, AND THAT IS TO
CONTINUE DISPLAYING A MESSAGE DURING PAGE BREAKS (AS WILL ANY OTHER KEY
EXCEPT ┼╙├), AND WHEN THE MENU LINE IS DISPLAYED THEY WILL EITHER MOVE
YOU FORWARD ╧╥ BACKWARD THROUGH THE MESSAGE PACKET. ╘HE ACTUAL
DIRECTION IS DEPENDANT ON WHETHER YOUR LAST OPTION WAS <╨>REV OR
<╬>EXT.
╘HE ┼╙├ KEY PERFORMS A SIMILAR FUNCTION TO THE ABOVEMENTIONED KEYS, BUT
RATHER THAN CONTINUING MESSAGE DISPLAYS DURING PAGE BREAKS IT WILL
FIRSTLY ABORT THE MESSAGE AND DISPLAY THE MENU LINE. ╘HE NEXT PRESS
WILL MOVE YOU FORWARD (OR BACKWARD) TO THE NEXT MESSAGE.
*╔* FIND THAT "ESCAPING" THROUGH THE ENTIRE MAIL PACKET IS THE
QUICKEST/BEST WAY TO GO AS THE FIRST PAGE OF A MESSAGE IS USUALLY MORE
THAN ENOUGH TO INDICATE WHETHER YOU WISH TO READ THE REST OF IT. ╨LEASE
NOTE THAT EVEN IF YOU DO "ESCAPE" FROM A PARTIALLY READ MESSAGE IN THIS
MANNER YOU CAN STILL EXPORT/WITTLE OR RE-READ IT. (WHICH ISN'T TRUE
THEN YOU "ESCAPE" FROM A MESSAGE WITH ╤╫╦╥╥).

╘RAPS FOR THE UNWARY.
 ─UE TO THE NATURE OF THE INDEXING THE INDEX AND/OR POINTER FILE
(CREATED BY QWIKREAD AND CALLED QWIK.NDX AND QWIK.PTR REPECTIVELY) WILL
ONLY BE VALID AS LONG AS THE ORIGINAL FILE HASN'T BEEN ═╧╓┼─. ╘HIS
MEANS THAT IF YOU COPY THE FILE TO THE SAME (OR ANOTHER) DISK THEN THE
INDEXES WILL BE INVALID AND WILL CAUSE UNPREDICTABLE PROBLEMS. ┘OU MAY
ALSO HAVE PROBLEMS IF YOU DELETE A MESSAGE FILE AND THEN PLACE A NEW
MESSAGES.DAT FILE IN ITS PLACE WITHOUT ALSO DELETING THE QWIK.NDX FILE.
╘HE PROGRAM ─╧┼╙ DO ╙╧═┼ CHECKING TO TRY TO AVOID THESE INDEX
MISMATCHES BUT THEY ARE NOT FOOLPROOF. ╔F YOU FIND YOU HAVE PROBLEMS
READING A MAIL PACKET OR THE COMPUTER GOES INTO "LALA LAND" THEN DELETE
THE QWIK.NDX FILE AND START AGAIN.

╔F YOU ARE USING A ├═─ DEVICE (╚─, ╥AMLINK, ╥AMDRIVE) THEN PLEASE BE
AWARE THAT USING ╤WIKREAD FROM SUBDIRECTORIES WILL GIVE UNDESIRABLE
RESULTS IN THAT IT WILL USE A CONTROL.DAT FILE FROM THE SUBDIRECTORY
BUT WILL USE A MESSAGE.DAT FILE FROM THE ROOT DIRECTORY. ╔ SUGGEST THAT
YOU DO ┴╠╠ OF YOUR MAILING FROM THE ROOT DIRECTORIES ONLY.

╤WIKREAD HAS BEEN TESTED ON A 1541, 1571, ├═─ ╚─ AND ├═─ ╥AMLINK. ╔T
HAS ╬╧╘ BEEN TESTED ON A "TRUE" 1581. ╔T DOES WORK ON 1581 STYLE
SUBDIRECTORIES (╚─ & ╥AMLINK) SO IT ╙╚╧╒╠─ WORK OK (PLEASE LET ME KNOW
IF THIS IS NOT SO).
╔T IS UNLIKELY THAT IT WILL WORK WITH OTHER DRIVES, SUCH AS THE
╙╞─'S, ╠T.╦ERNAL ETC ETC BECAUSE THE WAY THE PROGRAM WORKS. ╔ NEED TO
KNOW MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THEM (SUCH AS NUMBER OF TRACK & SECTORS AND
WHERE THE DIRECTORY TRACK IS LOCATED). ╠IKEWISE ╔ DON'T KNOW IF IT WILL
WORK WITH ├═─'S NEW ╞─ DRIVES, BUT FOR THOSE OF YOU CONTEMPLATING
BUYING ONE OF THESE DRIVES YOU CAN REST ASSURED THAT ╔ WILL BE MAKING
THE PROGRAM COMPATIBLE WITH THEM.
╧N THE SUBJECT OF DRIVES, ╤WIKREAD IS AN "INTELLIGENT" PROGRAM IN THAT
THE DRIVE NUMBER IS NOT FIXED, SO THAT ALTHOUGH CURRENTLY IT ONLY
SUPPORTS SINGLE DRIVE USAGE IT NEED NOT BE DRIVE #8. ┘OU CAN LOAD
QWIKREAD FROM ANY DRIVE THEN BEFORE YOU RUN IT YOU ONLY NEED DO A
DIRECTORY (OR ANY OTHER DISK ACCESS) ON THE DRIVE WITH YOUR MESSAGES
FILES. ╤WIKREAD WILL THEN USE THAT DRIVE FOR ALL OF ITS OPERATIONS.

─ISK ERROR CHECKING IS POSSIBLY NOT AS GOOD AS WHAT IT COULD BE. ╔T IS
UP TO YOU TO ENSURE THE FILES ARE ON THE DRIVE BEING USED, AND THAT YOU
DON'T RUN OUT OF DISK SPACE WHEN EXPORTING OR WITTLING. ╒NLIKE ╤╫╦╥╥
YOU NEED NOT WORRY ABOUT LEAVING SPACE FOR "TEMPORARY" FILES. ╤WIKREAD
DOESN'T HANDLE MESSAGES IN THE SAME WAY SO THIS IS NOT A PROBLEM.
╚OWEVER IT ─╧┼╙ REQUIRE ╙╧═┼ DISK SPACE FOR WHEN IT CREATES ITS INDEX
FILES. ╔T CREATES THESE FILES ONLY WHEN YOU ╤╒╔╘ THE PROGRAM. ┘OU WILL
NEED 2 BLOCKS MINIMUM. ╘HE POINTER FILE WILL TAKE ONE BLOCK AT ALL
TIMES. ╘HE INDEX FILE SIZE IS DEPENDENT ON THE NUMBER OF MESSAGES
INDEXED. ╘HERE ARE 3BYTES USED FOR EACH MESSAGE, THEREFORE YOU WILL
NEED APPROX 1 BLOCK FOR EVERY 85 MESSAGES.
┴ DISK FULL ERROR WHEN WITTLING FILES WILL LEAVE THE FILE IMPROPERLY
CLOSED. ╔ SUGGEST THAT IF THIS IS LIKELY TO HAPPEN TO YOU THAT YOU MAKE
YOURSELF FULLY AWARE ON HOW TO RECOVER THESE UNCLOSED (SPLAT) FILES
(ITS NOT DIFFICULT WHEN YOU KNOW HOW).
┴ "QWIK.PTR" FILE IS CREATED WHENEVER YOU EXIT THE PROGRAM. ╘HE
"QWIK.NDX" FILE IS ONLY CREATED IF THE INDEX FILE OF THE CURRENT
SESSION IS LARGER THAN THE LAST INDEX FILE LOADED (OR EVERYTIME IF NO
INDEX FILE WAS LOADED).

╫ELL, ╔ THINK THAT COVERS JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING, AND AS ╔ SAID AT THE
START, THIS IS THE ╞╔╬┴╠ RELEASE FOR ╤╫╦╥╥128. ═Y NEXT RELEASE WILL BE
THE FULL-BLOWN  ╤WIKREAD PROGRAM WITH REPLY FACILITIES AND HOPEFULLY
ALL THE OTHER NICETIES THAT SOME OF YOU HAVE ASKED FOR. ╒NLIKE ╤╫╦╥╥
UNLESS ╔ HAVE A REAL NEED TO DO SO ╔ WON'T BE RELEASING THE PROGRAM IN
VARIOUS DEVELOPMENT STAGES. ╘HIS WAS BASICALLY REQUIRED WITH ╤╫╦╥╥ IN
AN EFFORT TO FIND OUT ALL THE DIFFERENCES AND INCOMPATIBILITIES, NOW
THAT ╔ HAVE THESE DIFFERENCES COVERED ╔ CAN (HOPEFULLY) CONTINUE MY
WORK WITHOUT HAVING TO FIND A PATCH FOR THIS, OR A FIX FOR THAT.

├OSTS & UPGRADES.
 ╒P UNTIL NOW ╔ HAVE BEEN POSTING OUT THESE UPGRADES TO ALL REGISTERED
USERS REGARDLESS OF THE AMOUNT OF THEIR SHAREWARE CONTRIBUTIONS. ╘HIS
HAS BEEN DONE IN AN EFFORT TO SUPPLY YOU WITH A RELIABLE PROGRAM THAT
WILL WORK ON ANY ┬┬╙ YOU ARE LIKELY TO CALL THAT SUPPORTS THE ╤╫╦
FORMAT.
╚OWEVER, IN ORDER TO GET THIS COMPATIBILTY ╔ HAVE HAD TO RESORT TO
MAKING MANY INTERSTATE AND OVERSEAS PHONE CALLS. ┴S SUCH MY PHONE BILL
HAS LITERALLY GONE THROUGH THE ROOF. ╔N THE LAST 4 MONTHS IT HAS COST
ME $768.60 TO CALL ┬┬╙'S THAT ╔ WOULD NEVER HAVE CALLED IF IT WASN'T IN
AN ATTEMPT TO ISOLATE PROBLEMS THAT *╔* WOULD PROBABLY NEVER HAD
ENCOUNTERED. ╒P TO DATE ╔ HAVE RECIEVED $365.50 IN REGISTRATIONS. ╔'M
NOT COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS LOSS, BECAUSE NOONE FORCED ME TO DO IT,
HOWEVER IT IS ONLY BECAUSE ╔ HAVE RECIEVED THESE REGISTRATIONS THAT ╔
EVEN BOTHERED TO FIND THESE FIXES FOR PROBLEMS DO NOT AFFECT ME, SO IF
YOU DO USE THESE PROGRAMS AND YOU HAVEN'T REGISTERED THEN ╨╠┼┴╙┼
CONSIDER DOING SO.
╘HOSE THAT HAVE ALREADY REGISTERED ╔ GIVE YOU MANY THANKS. ╔T REALLY IS
DUE TO YOUR ENCOURAGEMENT THAT ╔ HAVE TAKEN THIS PROJECT AS FAR AS IT
HAS COME.
╚OWEVER, THE TIME HAS COME WHEN ╔ MUST ADOPT A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT
UPGRADE POLICY. ┴S OF NOW ╔ WILL NO LONGER SEND OUT FREE UPGRADES. ╘HE
INITIAL $20 REGISTRATION FEE WILL STILL STAND, HOWEVER ╔ WILL NOW BE
ASKING FOR AN ADDITIONAL $5.00 (╒╙ OR ┴╒╙╘ - THE DIFFERENCE IS MINIMAL
AFTER ╔ PAY BANK FEES) FOR ┼┴├╚ UPGRADE ╔ POST OUT.

╙INCE SOME OF YOU HAVE ALREADY CONTRIBUTED MORE THAN REQUIRED ALREADY ╔
WILL TAKE THIS INTO CONSIDERATION FOR FUTURE UPGRADES, SO AS OF NOW
THIS IT WHAT ╔ SUGGEST.
╔F YOU HAVEN'T REGISTERED YET THEN $20 WILL GET YOU A REGISTERED COPY
OF THIS PROGRAM AS IT STANDS. ╔F YOU WISH TO HAVE THEN NEXT RELEASE
FORWARDED TO YOU WHEN IT IS READY YOU SHOULD ADD A FURTHER $5.00, OR
YOU CAN WAIT UNTIL THE NEXT RELEASE AND FOWARD ME THE FUNDS AT THAT
TIME.

╔F YOU HAVE ALREADY REGISTERED AND YOU ONLY PAID THE BARE MINIMUM ($10
OR $20 DEPENDING ON WHICH VERSION YOU REGISTERED) THEN THIS WILL BE THE
LAST FREE UPGRADE TO BE SENT. ┘OUR OPTIONS ARE NOW THE SAME AS THEY ARE
FOR NEW REGISTRATIONS. (SEND MONEY NOW, OR WAIT)

╔F YOU HAVE ALREADY REGISTERED AND SENT $25.00 OR MORE THEN YOU NEEDN'T
WORRY ABOUT A THING. ┘OU WILL GET THE NEXT UPGRADE POSTED OUT TO YOU
AUTOMATICALLY, PLUS ANY FURTHER UPGRADES UNTIL YOUR "EXCESS" FUNDS HAS
BEEN EATEN UP. ╘HEREFORE IF YOU HAVE PAID $30.00 YOU WILL GET THIS
UPGRADE PACKAGE PLUS TWO MORE.
╨LEASE NOTE, THAT SINCE ╔'M ┴USTRALIAN THAT ╔ AM TALKING ┴USTRALIAN
─OLLARS.
CONVERSION TO ╒╙┴ CURRENCY IS APPROX 75C TO THE DOLLAR, SO THAT
 $15╒╙ = $20 ┴UST.
 $20╒╙ = $26-$27 ┴UST.

  ╫HAT THIS MEANS IS THAT THOSE OF YOU IN ╒╙┴ THAT SEND/SENT ME
$20.00 ON ITS FACE VALUE WILL GET ONE MORE UPGRADE. ╘HOSE THAT HAVE
CONVERTED IT DOWN SO AS TO NOT SEND MORE THAN NECCESARY ARE NOW IN THE
SITUATION WHERE MORE IS DUE IN ORDER TO GET THE NEXT RELEASE. ╫ITHOUT
EXCEPTION NO ONE IN ┴USTRALIA HAS SENT MORE THAN ╔ ASKED, SO ALL CAN
CONSIDER THIS THE LAST FREE UPGRADE.
─ON'T WORRY, ╔'M NOT GOING TO GET RICH OUT OF THIS, $5.00 DOESN'T GIVE
ME MUCH CHANGE AFTER YOU TAKE THE COST OF DISK AND POSTAGE OUT OF IT.
╧H, AND HOW CAN YOU BE SURE THAT THERE IS GOING TO BE ANOTHER UPGRADE ?
╘HATS EASY. ╔'M AN OFFLINE MAIL JUNKIE. ╔ ALSO WANT ALL THE FEATURES
THAT YOU WANT (AND THEN SOME). ╔T WILL TAKE TIME, BUT ╔ WILL GET THERE.

╚APPY ┬┬╙ING,
