REGISTRATION OF CHIEF'S INSTALLER PRO for Win16 AND Win32 --------------------------------------------------------- Chief's Installer Pro is distributed under the Shareware principle. It can be copied and distributed freely, as long as ALL the supplied files, including documentation (this file) are included, and NO ATTEMPT is made to modify any of the files. The Shareware principle means that you get a chance to EVALUATE the program free of charge for a reasonable period of time (in the case of Chief's Installer Pro, a maximum of 14 days). It does not mean that you will NOT have to pay for the program. This program is NOT crippled in any way, and you only get nagged when you use the (optional) Chief's Installer Pro compiler. What this means is that you now have the FULL version of Chief's Installer Pro. Nothing is disabled, there are no extra files, and there is no written manual. All the documentation is in the .HLP file (CHIEF.HLP). I felt that releasing the full version in this way was necessary in order to enable people to fully evaluate the program, being that they will be seeing exactly what the program is. It also helps to ensure that when you do register, you do not have to wait for days or weeks to receive your "registered copy". However, this approach also means that I am relying totally on people's honesty to register. Chief's Installer Pro is a tool to help programmers concentrate on their products by not having to worry about installation routines, thereby improving their productivity. A lot of time and effort has gone into this program, and I am not asking for much, considering that users will be getting a royalty-free license, which covers all their Windows applications! If you find Chief's Installer Pro useful and would like to continue using it, or you would like to use it as the installation routine for your own programs, then I would encourage you to please REGISTER your copy. BENEFITS OF REGISTRATION ------------------------ 1. You will receive a serial number and a registration code which will remove the nags from the compiled INF and batch files, and which will entitle you to a upgrades to future shareware releases of Chief's Installer Pro, up till (but not including) the next MAJOR release. MAJOR upgrades will be numbered in whole numbers, and attract an upgrade fee of 50% of whatever is the prevailing registration fee. Minor upgrades will be numbered in .10 increments, and will be free. 2. Freedom to use Chief's Installer Pro as the installation program for an unlimited number of your own applications. 3. A clear conscience. 4. Support (via e-mail) for the program. 5. A chance to have an input into the features of future versions (I will not accept suggestions for new features from anyone who has not registered). 6. Not having to worry that I will discover that you have used the package as the installation routine for your program without registering 7. You will be very cool indeed.

NOTE: If you want to send your credit card orders by e-mail, please put your details (as per the registration form) in an ASCII file, and then run the program TOTOOLZ.EXE on the file.

If a necessary duty/tax is not sent, the order can not be processed. I would also encourage registrants to please PRINT their registration requests CLEARLY.
