Here is a simple way I discovered one day while playing around with the
QMODEM v3.1a register command, and typing badly:  If the command line is
entered as
			QMODEM rgister

then the program will boot up without the 15-sec pause, as if registered,
although it is still registered to [UNREGISTERED].  I do not feel that this
violates the registration contract since it is explicitly stated in the
docs that the 15-sec delay was not meant to cripple the program; therefore
uncrippling it is not violating the registration, especially since the
fix was not thru hacking the program but a bug on the programmer's side.
Backdoors are not in the author's opinion immoral; exploiting existing
circumstances is the American Way, and the programmer might have not been
all that bad and put it in for enterprising folk.
