What is Albert's Ambry?

     Albert's Ambry is a shareware store residing on the Internet 
that provides you access to a large number of shareware programs. 
This is a try-before-you-buy store, so you can download any 
shareware package they have in their library and try it out. 
After trying it out you can register it at Albert's Ambry if you 
should decide to do so. You can also register MicroCook there 
even if you downloaded it at an other BBS or Internet site. All 
you need is a valid credit card. And of course Albert's Ambry is 
a 24-hour store allowing you to register whenever you like. 
     
     There has been a lot of media coverage regarding the 
security of the Internet and Web. Some of it is true.  Other 
things are not. When you transmit the credit card numbers to 
Albert's Ambry, or any other Web store, it is sent in many small 
packages. And all packages do not necessarily go the same route. 
Package 1 might go through route 1, package 2 through route 47, 
and package 3 through route 33. So the chance that someone could 
intercept the transmission to Albert's Ambry and get the WHOLE 
credit card number, your name, and the expiration date is VERY 
small. Someone has a better chance finding your credit card 
number on a receipt from a store than from Cyberspace. Albert's 
Ambry does NOT store your credit card number on their server, 
only the transaction. So if a cyber-thief should get through 
their specially designed and very secure firewall, he cannot find 
it. Only a lot of shareware!  
     
     When you register MicroCook at Albert's Ambry you don't 
need to download MicroCook again, unless you have an older 
version. In the registered ZIP file are a generic KEY file, an 
additional 2000 recipes, and the database repair utility MCDBFIX.  
The file you'll download when you register is called MCOOKREG.ZIP.
Just copy it to the same directory as where you keep your other
MicroCook program files and unzip it. That's all. Please do NOT
upload, give away copies, or distribute copies of the MCOOKREG.ZIP
file. It's ONLY for registered users.

     If you want to get a personalized KEY file, where YOUR name 
will be printed on the bottom line in the MicroCook editor, 
please send e-mail to NORSKi Software with an approximate date 
when you registered with Albert's Ambry. Please specify the name
to use in the KEY file. I'll then e-mail instructions back on how
to create the KEY file with MicroCook.
