SASG International is proud to announce that SASG has completely renewed
its services and infrastructure to satisfy all needs of Amiga shareware
users worldwide.
We have full Internet presence and are offering various new registration
methods, including fax, email and online registration. This is a complete
new SASG. We have learned from the past and listened to the requests of our
customers. The best ideas and intentions went into our new services.
SASG WEBSITE (www.sasg.com)
---------------------------
SASG International went online a few months ago. Although we haven't
announced our new website until now, over 100,000 Amiga users worldwide
have visited us on the web and enjoyed their stay. As for them our website
"is the most beautiful, functional and professionally done site" they have
ever seen on the web (-> see our Guestbook). It has become a major address
to turn to for many web surfers, a haven for the Amiga fan, if you will.
Please visit us at http://www.sasg.com/ and form your own opinion.
To celebrate our birthday and our own attendance record, we have decided
to let everyone participate in our achievements by making a special offer:
SASG International grants you an exclusive, time-limited
!!! 20% BIRTHDAY DISCOUNT !!!
on all of its featured products! Just visit our website and use this neat
offer to register our acclaimed products for even less than you would
usually pay. Don't miss this unique and limited chance to get our great
Amiga shareware products for just that little shareware fee. Since we are
celebrating SASG's 3rd anniversary, we thought it would be appropriate to
give away our products for 20% less for exactly 3 WEEKS! This means, if you
visit our website and register a product before the 13-Jun-97, you will be
granted this special discount. On friday the 13th, it will expire! :-)
NEW REGISTRATION PROGRAM v4.0
-----------------------------
The SASG Registration Program is a complete rewrite. It features numerous
new features, far too many to be mentioned here. Please download this new
registration program from our website:
-> http://www.sasg.com/sasginfo.html
or from any Aminet mirror in the directory util/misc, e.g.:
-> ftp://ftp.wustl.edu/pub/aminet/util/misc/SASGinfo40.lha
This is a must for every Amiga user since it includes all shareware
products SASG currently has to offer, information about the authors, about
the SASG, and at the same time contains all features of the new SASG. And
if this is not enough, we have added jaw-dropping animations and a few
gags -- the first time that you will see this in a workbench window!

THE SASG BACKGROUND
-------------------
The Standardized Amiga Shareware Group was founded in May 1994. Most
Amiga users will remember this time as the downfall of Commodore. SASG was
born out of this crisis since we wanted to show our solidarity with the
Amiga and its users worldwide for we knew that the liquidation of Commodore
would not simultaneously mean the downfall of the Amiga computer. We also
realized the urge to facilitate the shareware registration process for both
author and end user and to offer an unprecedented service in the shareware
scene. We felt that shareware has a great potential -- now more than ever
due to the precarious situation of the Amiga -- so we wanted to revolu-
tionize the shareware idea by giving it an upswing.
