This is the registered version of the NFL_1993 for Windows program.
Thanks for your support. Registration offers the following benefits
to you:

1. Serialized diskette containing the complete NFL_1993 program
and all supporting data files.
2. Telephone and/or bulletin board support.
3. Right to purchase annual updates as the 1994, 1995, ... NFL
game schedules evolve for a minimal fee of $10.00 US. This
minimal fee covers the cost of the floppy diskette, the floppy
mailer, the label, postage, and the actual update preparation.

2.0 Support Services

You may call, write, or use one of the two supported commercial
services (both CompuServe and GENIE) to obtain support and
assistance. Unless the problem is relatively complex, you will
get the best results by calling. Electronic mailboxes are NOT
checked on daily basis, but are a very effective way of com-
municating. Electronic mailboxes are great for relating problems
receiving work-arounds and/or problem specific updates. If you
write, please include a phone number and the times when you will
be available. My response to written questions is much slower.

3.0 Electronic Support

Electronic support is provided on both GENIE and CompuServe.
You are strongly advised to obtain a USER ID on at least one
of these services as no other form of electronic support will
be provided.

On GENIE, you can leave mail addressed to T.KERR1. Mail messages
are answered as soon as possible. If you need information on
obtaining a GENIE account you can call GENIE toll free at
800-638-9636.

CompuServe electronic correspondence is limited to EMAIL. Our
EMAIL ID is [75140,3326]. EMAIL messages are answered as soon as
possible. If you need information on obtaining a CompuServe account,
you can call CompuServe toll free at 800-848-8199.

Greetings.

This is the first release of the registered version of the NFL_1993 for
Windows program.

There have been very few functional changes in the program this year. I
have fixed two bugs that were found in the Input-Playoff-Games logic dur-
ing the course of last season. All reported problems have been found and
fixed. The software should be more robust.

The dialog boxes are a little "prettier" now that windows are sized per
the number of games for which information is displayed. No other sub-
stantial changes have been made. I've provided icons for every team in
the NFL. My new policy is that the default icon each year will be
last year's Superbowl winner. Live with it or change the icon yourself.
It's a small price to pay. The humility may do us good!

Thanks for your support,

Tom Kerr
