------------------------------ Welcome to Qmodem Version 4.3! ------------------------------ If you just HAVE to get going quickly, and have a harddisk, do these 3 simple steps: 1. Copy the first three disks INTO you current 4.x Qmodem directory. 2. Type "40TO42 QMODEM.FON" at the Dos prompt (to convert your FON) 3. Type "QMODEM" and get started! Registrations explained ----------------------- A lot of you are wondering about your registration, and how it applies to tech support, access to the Forbin BBS, and just exactly what you paid for in the past. When you register your copy of Qmodem ($30.00 being the going rate), this entitles you to 1 year of tech support, both voice and through the Forbin BBS. You get a registration NAME and NUMBER (which have lately been printed on very pink paper). This registration NAME and NUMBER will plug in to your current copy of Qmodem making it registered. This set is also good for all future releases of Qmodem. So, even after your subscription for 1 year has expired, you can always download the current Shareware ver sion and apply your NAME and NUMBER to it. The $15.00 RENEWAL is to extend your voice and BBS Tech Support privileges. If you need help, then you should renew. Check the label on this flyer. At the top will be your Customer Number (not to be confused with your Registration Number) and your current Expiration Date for tech support. Some of you may have already expired. If so, you may want to renew to get support for the new version. EXAMPLES 1. You registered for version 2.00E back in 1985, and you paid $20 for your registration. You can renew for the $15.00 fee and order Disks, Manual or both! You are entitled to a valid registration Name and Number. To get these, simply call the Forbin BBS, leave a comment to the Sysop as to your past registration status, and he will upgrade you. You then call back in a couple days and get the information off the BBS! 2. You registered a copy of Qmodem in the last year, so your current registration has not expired. You will have already received a pink sheet from us with your last registration, and it will have the Name and Number on it. You can also do as in step 1 and call the BBS for this if you have misplaced the paper or forgotten your number. 3. You ordered the 41Bto42 Special we were running for a few months. You do not need to worry! Your 4.2 disks and manual will be shipped to you as we receive them from the duplicators! 4. You are a current Auto Upgrade user. If you subscribed to the Auto Upgrade plan less than a year ago (from the actual release date), then you will get the complete package automatically! Just sit back and wait patiently!
