InterActive supported software scheme 23rd November 1996
|
||
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
About the scheme
|
||
----------------
|
||
The supported Shareware scheme was started by Joe Connor in 1993 to
|
||
encourage authors to produce and support English language versions of
|
||
their software AND to encourage UK users to register 'foreign' software.
|
||
Recently the scheme was re-launched as InterActive. With currently over
|
||
1650 registrations the scheme has established the proven benefits of local
|
||
support, which include:
|
||
|
||
- Key to remove features reserved for registered users available
|
||
- Local telephone, post and Email support
|
||
- Free update service
|
||
- No hassle handling foreign currency
|
||
- Labelled Master disk and registration letter
|
||
- ST-Guide on-line hypertext help (some software)
|
||
- Other software (dependent on disk space)
|
||
|
||
Registration fees are set to cover the currency handling, stationary,
|
||
media and postage costs incurred in mailing out master disks and providing
|
||
support.
|
||
Although primarily a UK support scheme everyone is welcome to register via
|
||
InterActive as an alternative to registering directly with the author/s.
|
||
|
||
The currently supported software is:

How to register from inside the UK
|
||
----------------------------------
|
||
1) Use the included ORDER_FM.TXT to select the required software
|
||
2) Make sure your name and address is included and *legible*!
|
||
3) Make cheques/POs payable to InterActive for the total amount
|
||
4) Send the completed order form and payment to InterActive
|
||
|
||
Additionally from outside the UK
|
||
--------------------------------
|
||
- Add œ1 to your order total to cover postage
|
||
- Make certain payment is *in Sterling* drawn on a *UK* bank address
|
||
The following methods are known to work:
|
||
-Bank draft/cheque
|
||
-Eurocheque
|
||
-International Post Office cheque payable *in Sterling*
|
||
-Cash! Sterling, Dollars and DMs are fine -but at your own risk!
|
||
|
||
Country specific information
|
||
----------------------------
|
||
Canada: Canadian Post Office money orders made out in *Sterling* are
|
||
perfect and inexpensive!
|
||
Australia: Please visit your Post Office and get a money order made out in
|
||
and NZ *Sterling*.
|
||
France: For some reason I'm getting a number of local cheques (i.e.
|
||
written in Sterling but drawn on a french bank address.
|
||
I can accept these but they cost œ5 to negoiate so you must add
|
||
an extra œ5 to your order total.
|
||
Europe: In general Post Office money orders or Eurocheques are the best
|
||
way to pay.
|
||
USA: What a nightmare! Can I suggest a day trip to a Canadian post
|
||
office? I've seen everything from Amex travellers cheques (add
|
||
œ5 to order total), local cheques (no can do), cash (fine -but
|
||
at your own risk). An International money order (add œ5 to
|
||
order total) made out in Sterling drawn on a UK banking address
|
||
is currently the best solution.

Update service
|
||
--------------
|
||
|
||
By post
|
||
-------
|
||
To receive an update send a self addressed envelope including return
|
||
postage (or IRC) and an unlabelled double sided floppy disk. Please state
|
||
clearly:
|
||
|
||
1) The software you'd like updated
|
||
2) The version you're currently using
|
||
|
||
How long will I have to wait?
|
||
-----------------------------
|
||
Due to the number of people taking advantage of the service and my other
|
||
commitments as editor of Atari Computing I can't always reply as quickly
|
||
as I'd like to. Often I'm waiting for a new version or simply too busy
|
||
earning a living so please be patient!
|
||
|
||
If you have Internet access
|
||
---------------------------
|
||
Visit the InterActive websites which include news and gossip about the
|
||
latest products with links to other Atari related sites and (any day now)
|
||
downloads of all the latest versions.

If you have a modem but no ftp access
|
||
-------------------------------------
|
||
You can always obtain the latest English language releases from 42BBS:
|
||
|
||
SysOp: Colin Fisher-McAllum
|
||
Telephone: UK+(0)1256 895106
|
||
System: 24 hour/28.8K modem/Falcon/8N1
|
||
|
||
Other Bulletin boards and ftp sites are allowed to carry the on-line
|
||
archives but because minor updates to the English language version are
|
||
sometimes made without changing the version number hensa and 42BBS are the
|
||
places to go to ensure you have the very latest versions!
