Shareware Registration

This is one of 31 programs, collectively called the Rock Utilities, which
are distributed as shareware programs, and sold as a set for $20. You're
encouraged to try the programs prior to purchase, and give copies to your
friends and colleagues who you think may find them useful. However, it's
not free; if you decide to use it more than 30 days, please send in the
registration form. In doing so, you'll be helping further the development
of the software, and gain the benefits of registration, including the right
to continue using the software, and sleeping better at night!

The cost of registration is $20, for which you'll receive a nice printed
manual, a 720K or two 360K diskettes with the latest version of the Rock
Utilities (including disk-based documentation), and news of updates.

The $20 registration fee is for one copy for use on any one computer at any
one time. Quantity purchases or site licenses are negotiable. See the
file ORDER.FRM or type "RIR /ORDER > PRN" (or whatever program this is
followed by /ORDER) to print an order form.


Distribution

Please don't alter or omit files in redistribution (except to recompress
files in a different format, e.g. ARC instead of ZIP). Shareware
distributers and BBS's are welcome to distribute the programs.
