After your 30-day evaluation period, you are legally required
to register Stella if you decide to continue using it. There
are many benefits, not the least of which will be a sensation of
warm altruism accompanied by a clear conscience.

The shareware release currently under evaluation is similar in
most respects to the registered version.

What sets fully registered copies apart is:

1)  Customization to your precise location and preferences
2)  complete absence of reminders, delays, and restrictions
3)  the capacity to load the entire first-level database of
    over 9000 stars
4)  added comets and star names
5)  Time-advance animations
6)  Sky dynamically reflecting moonlight and sunlight levels
7)  The complete Messier Catalog in ImageIcons
8)  Precession of the equinoxes
9)  Lifetime support by mail or e-mail
10) *free* Stella 2000 updates by request for 2 years
11) Automatic eligibility for special offers and add-ons


In return for your registration* Swimming Elk Software will
send you a personal (dedicated) copy of the latest version of
Stella pre-programmed with your name, home location and
startup preferences. You may contact us by post or E-mail at
any time after registration with any problem or query
concerning the inner workings of Stella.

Swimming Elk Software welcomes pre-registration enquiries,
even if their sole motive is to confirm to yourself that we
actually exist. A simple postcard or e-mail with your name and
address and a reference to Stella 2000 will suffice to get you
a reassuring reply.

We undertake to answer ALL Stella-related correspondence,
whether it concerns registration or not.



        Summary of Payment Methods
        --------------------------

Briefly, the following types of order are accepted.
Please see next section for details.

Non-sterling equivalents are given in U.S. dollars.

METHOD     TOTAL COST

1A) Sterling currency (cash) 				25 pounds UK
1B) Sterling cheque (personal or banker's)		25 pounds UK

2A) Non-sterling currency (cash)      			$45 U.S.

                Payment Alternatives
               ----------------------

* Registering Stella costs 25 pounds sterling or U$45.

Payment might be in the form of a sterling cheque drawn on a
UK bank (made out to R.Hughes), any major credit card,
International Postal Money Order, even a personal check or
cash at the present exchange rate in your own hard currency.

Regrettably, we must charge a handling fee if payment is in
non-sterling currency, PERSONAL CHECK, or IMO, bringing the
total to $45 U.S. at the current exchange in whatever tender
you decide to send.

This also applies to orders by CREDIT CARD (see below for
details)

A further alternative is 200 Finnish marks, to which handling
need not be added if payment is in cash or any cheque drawn is
on a Finnish bank.

If you decide to order by credit card, you may also e-mail
your completed registration form to our Internet address
(attached, for example, using MIME). This is by far the fastest
method of obtaining your registered copy of Coeli. We will of
course check for the arrival of funds the moment we receive
your e-mailed form.



Ordering by check, Money Order, or hard currency
------------------------------------------------

To order by check, cash, or International Money Order, simply enclose 
your remittance for 25 GBP /  $45 U.S. (or the latter's equivalent in

and send it direct to Swimming Elk Software at

    **********************************
    NOW YOU CAN REGISTER STELLA ONLINE!
    **********************************

For secure, no fuss, Internet registration via credit card,
just point your Web browser at one of the links at the foot of
this document.


Why should I register?

Because Swimming Elk Software is waiting to send you a
dedicated copy of Stella 2000 hard-coded with your name, home
location and startup preferences. Stella can be with you
within 24 hours. Your registered copy will be equipped to load
the entire first-level database of over 9000 stars along with
an extensive inventory of DSOs, images, and commentary.
You may also contact us by mail or E-mail at any time after
registration with just about any problem or query relating to
Coeli.


How do I start?

If you haven't already done so, please print out a regular
Coeli registration form by pressing [r] from within the
program. A copy will be saved with the filename REGISTER.FRM
in the folder or directory you reserved for Coeli.

On the form you will notice a line beginning 'Your ref' and
followed by an ident code. This code is your unique personal
reference and you will be required to enter or paste it into
your online customization form in your Web browser. It is your
order's most important component bar E-mail address and credit
card!

When you are ready and have the information to hand, please
set aside a few minutes to fill out your online customization
form, and submit it to us. If you have difficulties getting
your Web browser to mail us, a simple remedy is to attach a
copy of the file REGISTER.FRM using your regular E-mail
software, or just paste it into the body of the message.

As soon as we receive the form, we will get to work
personalizing your very own unique copy of Coeli, which we
will then either send on 3.5" diskette or E-mail to you
straight away as a MIME attachment. Don't forget to complete
the section of the form which tells us which of these
alternatives you prefer to take.

We estimate an average of 72 hours for the first option
(postal), 36 hours for the second (E-mail).



Confused?

Essentially, registering Coeli online is a two-stage process:

1) Filling out your customization form online (optional)

2) Ordering online with your credit card

The two stages are entirely separate, the customization
handled by us at Swimming Elk Software, and your credit card
order by Share-It! with their secure submission
facilities. These are our agents for handling all online
registrations, and they will inform us electronically of your
order immediately they receive it, so that we can process and
despatch your Stella package without delay.

Aside from the possible handling fee, all else (postage, media
etc) is included.

You have only to press the [r] key, or select |Register| from the Help
menu, and a registration facility is available from within Stella itself. Here, you may
set out your preferences for a personalized copy, enter comments and 
criticisms, and prepare/print out a registration form.

Alternatively, a simple letter along with your registration will suffice.
( Don't forget to include any customization preferences you may have 
  Only the most unreasonable requests are refused...)

We recognise that in these times many cannot afford even
shareware prices, particularly students, state pensioners,
the unemployed, and denizens of what it has become customary
to label the Third World (including former Soviet & Eastern
Block countries). If your circumstances fall into any of these
areas, simply include a signed declaration to the effect, and
enclose just HALF THE REGISTRATION FEE *. We will be honoured 
to serve you.


* Surcharges apply.

Thank you.
