=========================================================================== InterActive supported software scheme 4th November 1996 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- About the scheme ---------------- The supported Shareware scheme was started by Joe Connor in 1993 to encourage authors to produce and support English language versions of their software AND to encourage UK users to register 'foreign' software. Recently the scheme was re-launched as InterActive. With currently over 1650 registrations the scheme has established the proven benefits of local support, which include: - Key to remove features reserved for registered users available - Local telephone, post and Email support - Free update service - No hassle handling foreign currency - Labelled Master disk and registration letter - ST-Guide on-line hypertext help (some software) - Other software (dependent on disk space) 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.

Sterling, Dollars and DMs are fine -but at your own risk! Country specific information ---------------------------- Canada: Canadian Post Office money orders made out in *Sterling* are perfect and inexpensive! Australia: Please visit your Post Office and get a money order made out in and NZ *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.

Update service -------------- By post ------- To receive an update send a self addressed envelope including return postage (or IRC) and an unlabelled double sided floppy disk. Please state clearly: 1) The software you'd like updated 2) The version you're currently using How long will I have to wait? ----------------------------- Due to the number of people taking advantage of the 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 include news and gossip about the latest products with links to other Atari related sites and (any day now) downloads of all the latest versions. URL: http://www.cix.co.uk/~inactive/ URL: http://www.toad.net/~interact/ 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/28.8K modem/Falcon/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 hensa and 42BBS are the places to go to ensure you have the very latest versions!
