=========================================================================== InterActive supported software scheme 29th November 1998 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Since 1993 InterActive has offered a convenient way to register non-commercial software. The scheme was launched by Joe Connor to encourage 'foreign' authors to produce and support English language versions of their software AND to encourage UK users to register their software. Currently InterActive attracts registrations from all over the world and currently supports over 50 non-commercial titles from dozens of different authors with thousands of registered users. The authors and translators deserve your support so if you're regularly using any unregistered software please register today. What's new? ----------- Running InterActive takes time - lots of it. The time taken composing registration letters and manually duplicating disks to send out in the post could be spent working with the TransAction crew to translate and bring you more software to choose from. Many InterActive customers are online and all the InterActive software is available on-line so we've decided now is the time to encourage email only registrations by offering reduced registration prices across the board for email only registrations. If you'd like a registration letter and master disk it's no problem - you simply pay a pound per registration taking the fee back up to its original price.

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 cannot accept these because my bank charges an expensive fee for these (more than the cheque is usually worth!) - please use the Post Office GiroBank system. Canada: The Canadian Post Office can issue money orders in *Sterling*. These are hassle free and inexpensive! Australia: Australia Post only sell overseas money orders in US dollars so please get an International Bank Draft made out in Sterling drawn on a UK bank address. NZ: Please visit your Post Office and get a money order made out in *Sterling*. USA: I can't accept local cheques. If a day trip to a Canadian post office is out of the question :-) an International Money Order made out in Sterling (please add extra œ5 to order total) drawn on a UK banking address is the safest but most expensive solution. Amex/VISA/Thomas Cook travellers cheques made out to Joe Connor in Sterling (please add extra œ5 to order total) are also acceptable. For smaller orders, AT YOUR OWN RISK, dollars cash in a "US Postal Service Global Priority mail flat rate envelope", is the cheapest option - these envelopes cost less than $4. Please contact me first to ask for a price in dollars.

Update service -------------- All software is available for download via the InterActive web pages. Alternatively to receive an update by post 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 3) Upgrade fee, where applicable Response times -------------- Email response time is usually same day with keys mailed out on receipt of funds. All incoming email is read and bugs are reported back to the authors. If you don't get an immediate reply to requests for help it's likely we haven't got anything helpful to say at that time. Due to the number of people whi support InterActive along with my other commitments postal registrations take longer than I'd like - although usually within 28 days. Please be patient!
