Support sites, support echo and registration sites.
---------------------------------------------------

Because timEd is becoming quite popular, there are lots of
users. And lots of users have lots of questions and problems.

Up to now, I have tried to support the product in several
echomail areas of other products, and through netmail. This
is, however, becoming a very time consuming job.

Apart from that, netmail doesn't always arrive at it's
destination :-( 

So, I think it would be much better to support my product by
using a special echomail area for this goal. It will be an
international echomail area called ARTWARE: "Support for
timEd, WIMM & NetMgr".

Right now, the echo can be picked up from the following sites:


The Netherlands:
----------------

Contrast BBS, 
2:281/527
Usenet: art@beard.nest.nl
V32bis
SysOp: Gerard van Essen

United States of America:
-------------------------

Higher Ground
1:138/211
V32bis, ZyXEL

(This site supports the magic filenames TIMED & TIMEDP for the latest
versions)


WME Online!
1:203/7707
Usenet: jfesler@wmeonlin.scabbx.com
V32bis
SysOp: Jason Fesler


All sites mentioned above will always have the latest version
of my programs available.


What I would like:

Sites in all other countries worldwide! :-)

If you are willing to regularly pick up ARTWARE and make it
available to anyone who wants it, please contact one of the
sites above.

PLEASE HELP.

It will allow me to support my products much better than
before!


Support & Registration sites
----------------------------

Support
-------

What I would also like, is the creation (worldwide) of several
support sites for my products. These sites should always have
the latest versions of my products available, and the SysOp
should offer support for these products as well.

Especially if the ARTWARE support echo is not available in a
certain country, the existence of a support site could give
the users easy access to product support.

If you are an experienced user of my products, and are willing
to support them in your country, please let me know!

Apart from my own BBS in The Netherlands, both sites in the USA (mentioned
above) are willing to provide support to anyone who is in trouble. If you
are in the USA (or Canada), contacting them might be much quicker than
trying to get hold of me.


Registration
------------

Likewise, it should be easy for a user to register.

Registration sites in various countries can make this easier
for the user who is willing to register. 

If you are willing to act as a registration site in your
country, which means: taking registrations, doing the paper
work, accepting checks, money transfers (and maybe even credit
cards), please contact me.
