                        What is Internet Bank Book?


IBB V2.0 (Internet Bank Book) is a utility which keeps a record of your

calls to internet including Time and Date of your call, the cost and rate at
which you were charged at depending on when you called.

These rates are calculated as follows (Fo NB, Canada)

Prime time (8am-6pm) (10 cents/min) 10 cents/60 sec=0.001666666666 cents/sec.

20% Discount(6pm-11pm)(8 cents/min) 8 cents/60 sec=0.00133333333333
cents/sec.

50% (5 cents/min) 5 cents/60 sec = 0.000833333333 cents/sec.

IBB updates the online charging each second up t to 16 decimal places.

                            What is Giftware?
                            ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Giftware is for people (like me!) who cannot afford to register programs so
if you send me a really usefull fully functional program such as a new AGA
Game (PD) or utilities..or even an Impressive Amiga music file (Not found on
Aminet) playable  with delitracker 2.07 or money (yes as a gift!), you will
recieve the Deluxe verion IBB V 3.0.

To prevent piracy, each IBB program will have the users name incoded in the
program at several places.
