PRO system is the same system with the addition of a Client module designed for business to track their Client information and preferences. Selecting Clients from the main selection screen takes you to the Clients Manager. The system will bring up the first Client in your database. Information tracked within the program database includes: Client name and address, city, state and zip code. Also day and evening phone numbers, number of family members as well as guests are tracked. Vacation dates are collected and the maximum rental for this Client is entered. There are check boxes to check if this Client is to be on Newsletter and/or Brochure mailing lists, and their rental requirements. An unlimited size notes field is also included for the Clients module. Any information you wish to keep can be entered in the notes field and retrieved with the Client record. The RESORTS! PRO system for businesses includes telephone support for 90 days from date of installation, assumed to be one week after registration. Yearly support contracts, custom coding and source code is available for commercial users. A network version can be arranged at a reduced per license cost. Call Coral Computer Services for more information. (717) 764-6730. REGISTRATION INFORMATIONtc "Registration Information" \l1 AND SHAREWARE STATEMENT DEFINITION OF SHAREWARE Shareware distribution gives users a chance to try software before buying it. If you try a Shareware program and continue using it, you are expected to register. Individual programs differ on details -- some request registration while others require it, some specify a maximum trial period. With registration, you get anything from the simple right to continue using the software to an updated program with printed manual. Copyright laws apply to both Shareware and commercial software, and the copyright holder retains all rights, with a few specific exceptions as stated below. Shareware authors are accomplished programmers, just like commercial authors, and the programs are of comparable quality. (In both cases, there are good programs and bad ones!) The main difference is in the method of distribution. The author specifically grants the right to copy and distribute the software, either to all and sundry or to a specific group. For example, some authors require written permission before a commercial disk vendor may copy their Shareware. Shareware is a distribution method, not a type of software. You should find software that suits your needs and pocketbook, whether it's commercial or Shareware. The Shareware system makes fitting your needs easier, because you can try before you buy. And because the overhead is low, prices are low also. Shareware has the ultimate money-back guarantee -- if you don't use the product, you don't pay for it. DISCLAIMER - AGREEMENT Users of RESORTS! must accept this disclaimer of warranty: "RESORTS!" is supplied as is. The author disclaims all warranties, expressed or implied, including, without limitation, the warranties of merchantability and of fitness for any purpose. The author assumes no liability for damages, direct or conse- quential, which may result from the use of RESORTS!." RESORTS! is a "shareware program" and is provided at no charge to the user for evaluation. Feel free to share it with your friends, but please do not give it away altered or as part of another system. The essence of "user-supported" software is to provide personal computer users with quality software without high prices, and yet to provide incentive for programmers to continue to develop new products. If you find this program useful and find that you are using RESORTS! and continue to use RESORTS! after a reasonable trial period, you must make a registration payment of $45.00 to Coral Computer Services. The $45.00 registration fee will license one copy for use on any one computer at any one time. You must treat this software just like a book. An example is that this software may be used by any number of people and may be freely moved from one computer location to another, so long as there is no possibility of it being used at one location while it's being used at another. Just as a book cannot be read by two different persons at the same time. Commercial users of RESORTS! must register and pay for their copies of RESORTS! within 30 days of first use or their license is withdrawn. Site-License arrangements may be made by con- tacting Coral Computer Services. Commerical registration cost is $250.00 for a single-use license. Anyone distributing RESORTS! for any kind of remuneration must first contact Coral Computer Services at the address below for authorization. This authorization will be automatically granted to distributors recognized by the (ASP) as adhering to its guidelines for shareware distributors, and such distributors may begin offering RESORTS! immediately (However Coral Computer Services must still be advised so that the distributor can be kept up-to-date with the latest version of RESORTS!.). You are encouraged to pass a copy of RESORTS! along to your friends for evaluation. Please encourage them to register their copy if they find that they can use it. All registered users will receive a copy of the latest version of the RESORTS! system. reserved for Registration Form VIEWING AND PRINTING THE ON-DISK MANUALTC "Registration Information" \l1 Non-registered users of RESORTS! may still take advantage of the tutorials and other reference materials in the RESORTS! system by viewing and/or printing the on-disk manual.
