Please contact us for information before submitting your order, or include a standard credit reference sheet with your order. 7 International Orders We are happy to accept orders from outside the U.S., but must require payment in the correct form to avoid the high fees charged by U.S. and non-U.S. banks for international check collections. If you are ordering from outside the U.S. and Canada, please include a phone number and a fax number with your order if possible. This allows us to contact you quickly and efficiently if we have questions about your order.

Be sure to include the exact name of the cardholder, the full card number, and the expiration date. ==> A check or money order IN U.S. FUNDS AND DRAWN ON A U.S. BANK. Other checks can not be processed without exorbitant fees and unfortunately will have to be returned to you, resulting in delays and additional expenses for you. Checks from banks outside 6-93A the U.S. are acceptable if and only if they are in U.S. funds and have the name and location of a correspondent U.S. bank printed on the face of the check. ==> An international postal money order in U.S. dollars. ==> A purchase order (minimum $200). We accept foreign purchase orders only from well established firms.

Dealers outside the U.S. may have established different upgrade policies, check with your dealer for details. Our products use three-digit version numbers plus an alpha character (e.g. 3.50a). Maintenance releases are indicated by a change in the last alpha character (e.g. 3.01b, 3.01c); major upgrades are indicated by a change in the other digits (e.g. 4.02, 5.0). When you purchase a single copy of EDOS, Enhanced Pifeditor, or a multi-system license for any of our products, you can obtain maintenance releases and the next major release of the product on disk will be available at a reasonable cost from FireFly Software(typically about $30.00). 9 Multi-System Licenses: Whether you are a major corporation, a small business, or an individual with more than one computer, if you plan to use our products on multiple systems you can save money by ordering a multi-system license rather than individual copies. (If all you want to do is use EDOS at work and at home you may not need a second copy; see the license agreement in the LICENSE.DOC file for details.) A multi-system license includes a master diskette and one manual. Additional manuals are $12 each (less for large quantities; additional shipping charges apply outside the U.S. and Canada). Multi-system licenses may be used at any number of physical sites, and on networked or stand-alone systems, as long as all support and distribution are handled through a single location. A schedule of multi-system license fees is below. FireFly Software also offers a simple policy which allows you to increase your license size at a reasonable price as you add new systems. 6-93A Our pricing structure covers any number of systems and goes well beyond what is listed below; you pay only for the number of systems actually using the product. For larger licenses, a variety of custom arrangements can be made to meet your specific needs. A signed license agreement is required when licensing 100 or more systems. Please contact us if you need more information on EDOS, Enhanced Pifeditor licenses, including prices not shown in the table below, or multi-system license information on TurboComm.

We are excited to be able to offer you some new products, including Enhanced Pifeditor to replace the Windows Pifeditor. 14 EDOS, and Enhanced Pifeditor: EDOS is our "flagship" product. It is a DOS enhancement utility designed to add power, elegance, and flexibility to the DOS prompt. EDOS is a complete replacement for COMMAND.COM, the command processor which displays the "C:\> prompt and accepts and executes the commands you type. It offers dozens of features beyond those available with DOS alone. If you aren't familiar with what EDOS is and what it does, take a look at the manual for all the details. It offers you great power while working at the DOS prompt and in batch files, makes minimal use of your precious memory, and generally makes life with DOS a whole lot easier. It works with all versions of MS-DOS / PC-DOS from 3.3 up, and with DR-DOS. EDOS is $69,95 each including disk, manual, and a low-cost upgrade to the next major release (see page ??? for details on upgrades). If you need both products, purchase them together for just $85. If you have EDOS and want the other, the update is just $29. Multi-system licenses are also available (see page ???). FireFly Software's latest product is Enhanced Pifeditor ("EPifedit"). Epifedit is a complete replacement for PIFEDIT.EXE, the default Windows Pifeditor, and brings the full power of the Enhanced Pifeditor to Windows users. TurboComm is an advanced communications software support system. It makes possible com port communications up to 57k baud, even in the background, if using 16550 UARTs. Up to 115K baud if using a hardwire.
