REGISTRATION AND SHAREWARE FEE

    With version 6.2 Downsort has become a Shareware product with a modest
    fee of 15 US-dollars.

    I hate restrictions in features (cripple-ware), and other tricks to
    stimulate users to register.  But I have strong evidence that
    registration is far below the actual use.  Therefore version 6.3 tries
    to stimulate registration a little more.  Otherwise Downsort is
    uncrippled, full featured, but I may eventually decide to quit further
    work on Downsort if the registration response remains considerably
    below actual use.

    I would like to avoid the excessive fees relative to the Shareware
    cantribution that banks charge for international money transfers or
    cheques to be made payable, and the services of credit card companies
    are not free of charge too.  To keep the shareware contribution to a
    reasonable minimum, I urge you to send a short "thank you for Downsort"
    letter with carefully hidden 15 US Dollars in banknotes (no cheques
    please).  You will be obliged to perform this incredibly pleasant task
    only once, and what is 15 dollars on a lifetime?  You may grasp the
    chance to tell me your strictly private opinion about Downsort or to
    report your requirements or remarks!

    Please address your letter to:

     R. Hamerling
     Hogelandseweg 67
     4132 CV  Vianen
     The Netherlands

    The equivalent of 15 US Dollars in banknotes (no coins!) of another
    currency is welcome too, but please only in a currency of one of the G7
    countries!  For those of you with a Dutch bank account it may be more
    convenient to pay the fee (25 Guilders) into my Postbank account
    2087285.  You will receive a personal 'key' which will change the
    signature of Downsort as proof that you are a registered user.

    If you are running Downsort on your Bulletin Board as service to your
    users, and have it available for download and/or file-request, and you
    appreciate to be mentioned, I'll be happy to mention your name to the
    reference list.
