          This is the SHAREWARE Registration information for some P.C
          Softsmith software.  This information is subject to change
          without notice in future distributions.  When you register
          please clearly state what you want and mark what you are
          registering.  One choice is to simply add your name and
          address to this, edit it, and print it, circle or highlight
          the correct selection, then mail the results.  You can do the
          same with email and some cutting and pasting.  Written
          comments and suggestions will always be gratefully accepted.

          We normally do not ship hard copy manuals. Registered users
          can ask for the most up-to-date version of Hands On, and can
          receive it and more technical information.

          We are normally shipping a local and restricted distribution
          version with more advanced features than normal registered or
          non registered version.  You can ask for a copy when you
          register.  As an aging indicator, any version on the ASP CDROM
          is likely two or three months behind our current distribution
          and vendor or BBS lag may add another month.  The
          Ziff-Davis/PBS time lag also seems to be 3 or 4 months.  The
          history section in README.TXT roughly shows the Hands On
          upgrade frequency.

          You have to communicate your needs with us, not a disk vendor
          or other agency.  Yes, if you register and you ask we will
          ensure that you get the latest version.  Its quite possible
          for you to register with someone else, and find later that we
          have never heard of you (everybody can goof).

          The registration amounts are for U.S. Dollars, or Canadian

          equivalent.  Please note that U.S. Dollar Postal Money Orders
          are generally the most convenient way to directly exchange and
          send currency to us.  The bulk of our European registrations
          arrive in the form of cash.  The prices are applicable for any
          portion or all of Hands On.



          ASIS $50 As is where is.  Licensed for one simultaneous link
          between 1 host and 10 remotes, or 1 remote and 10 hosts.

          NORMAL $60 Shipped updated complete package.  Licensed for one
          simultaneous link between 1 host and 10 remotes, or 1 remote
          and 10 hosts.

          PROFESSIONAL $100 Shipped updated complete package.  Licensed
          for one simultaneous link between one host and any of an
          unlimited number of remotes, or one remote and an unlimited
          number of hosts.  Assistance and tools to help multiple site
          setup, security, and support.  1 year of free major or
          quarterly upgrades.

          PARTNER $100 up.  If you are a Registered user, you can
          negotiate partial or full source code for internal use.
          Prices start at $100.

          SITE or WORKGROUP LICENCE $500 Shipped updated complete
          package.  Licensed for any number of simultaneous links
          between one particular site and any number of outside users.
          The WorkGroup variant encourages a scattered group to work
          together on a common task or project.  The idea is that the
          common task is NOT just 'normal business', and that there will
          be instances where sub-groups work together without a common
          site.


          UPGRADES $20 single.  $50 for 3 quarterly updates.

          *** NOTE:  In each case, one person should be designated as
          liaison per licensed copy or site.  ***



          PLEASE TELL US IF YOU REGISTER WITH SOMEONE.  TELL US IF YOU
          NEED "EXTRAS", and what you want shipped if anything.

          The following is a separate product that we distribute.
          People often indicate that they would have preferred to look
          at both choices before they opted for one.  TeleShare provides




              The REGISTER.txt   -   Registration        Page 3



          more basic remote control capability than Hands On.  Its
          simpler and cheaper.  For example, the current release does
          not include host keyboard locking or a modem database.

          TeleShare/DOS  basic distribution                        $35
          This assumes one master support center or machine and any
          number of machines to be supported.  This price is applicable
          for any portion or all of the current TeleShare release.


          Other materials:

          CONSULTING & CUSTOM SERVICES $50 hourly with a two hour
          minimum for materials that are not likely to be part of a
          product upgrade.  This must be arranged directly with us.

          We do not believe that one product fits all needs, and can
          tailor this product or other tools to meet a variety of
          needs.  One example is a simple one or two phone line BBS for
          specific uses.


          ALTERNATE ORDERING AND PAYMENT SCHEMES:


          OPTION 1 - Public (software) Library terms


          PsL's terms are:

          "You can order by sending check, cash or money order to P. C.
          Softsmith or with MC, Visa, Amex, or Discover from the Public
          (software) Library by calling 1-800-2424-PsL or 713-524-6394
          or by FAX to 1-713-524-6398 or by CIS Email to 71355,470.
          These numbers are for orders only. To insure that you get the
          latest version, PsL will notify us the day of your order and
          we will ship the product directly to you. Any questions about
          the status of the shipment of the order, refunds, registration
          options, product details, technical support, volume discounts,
          dealer pricing, site licenses, etc, must be directed to P. C.
          Softsmith (see below).  You can also mail credit card orders
          to PsL at P.O.Box 35705, Houston, TX, USA, 77235-5705."


          Please note that the Public (software) Library will normally
          be selling disks with the latest version, and we will assume
          that you have the latest version unless you specifically ask
          for an update and utilities with Hands On.  If you can order
          from PSL and email/mail us at P. C. Softsmith with any




              The REGISTER.txt   -   Registration        Page 4



          technical/support details you will get the best overall
          service.  Note that you cannot talk to us and order from PsL
          through us;  the two procedures are separate.  We can discuss
          upgrades, timing, and so on, with you but the PsL people
          cannot.  Talk to us at P. C. Softsmith but pay them at PsL.

          Please figure on adding $4 for shipping and handling with the
          PsL option.

          If you just want a 'test drive' copy, order from it PsL (and
          ask them for a copy of their monthly magazine/catalogue).


          OPTION 2 - via Compuserve

          You can use Compuserve to register.  Hands On is registered as
          #4509, and you "GO SWREG" to go through the registration
          process.  It can take a month or so for us to learn that you
          have registered.  Send us email about the registration, and
          ask for any 'extras' that you want.


          OPTION 3 - P. C. Softsmith terms, and general support

          Or you may send your name and address and U.S. funds, or
          Canadian equivalent to

          P.C. Softsmith
          Suite 606 - 6455 Willingdon Avenue,
          Burnaby, British Columbia,
          Canada, V5H 4E4

          Postal, International Money Orders, and cheques (checks) are
          gladly accepted, but no VISA, MC, or AMEX at this time.

          Send cash by registered mail or wrap it securely.

          For technical support, either email, write, or call (604)
          433-5189.  We offer enhanced (in time and depth) support for
          registered users.  We will now help people evaluate the
          product but will no longer support indefinite 'evaluations'.
