HOW DO I UPGRADE? ----------------- StartupSwapper Deluxe version 2.01 is a FREE upgrade for owners of all previous versions of StartupSwapper Deluxe. If you wish to obtain a fully licensed, registered version of this minor upgrade to version 2, please contact us. Our phone number, address, CompuServe ID, and other contact information is provided below. WHAT'S NEW IN THIS VERSION? or SHOULD I BOTHER TO UPGRADE? ------------------------------------------------------------ Since version 2.0... * The "Welcome to StartupSwapper Deluxe" introduction screen, intended to be seen only when the program is used for the first time, was seen continuously on a few systems. This odd bug has been squashed. * The Randomizer Module would sometimes display the same RLE twice in a row on a few systems. This bug has been fixed. * Some RLE files could not be viewed on a few systems. On others, viewing a corrupted RLE file would cause the program to crash. The RLE viewer has been modified to eliminate these bugs. HOW DO I REGISTER? ------------------ Complete information on registration is available in the help file. The help file can even print out a registration form for you on your printer. Registration information is also located in the ORDER.TXT file.
