Registration This archive contains the freely distributable version of MachV V5.0. It may be distributed as long as all files are maintained intact and only a nominal fee (no more than $5.00) is charged for media and postage. There are only small differences between this and the registered version. The registered version... ...does NOT have the "startup" window. ...allows unlimited macros. ...is about 2k smaller. ...is probably at least one release ahead of the un-registered version. ...also includes versions of MachV and SetMachV compiled for 68020+. ...includes documentation in French or German. Reasons to register: 1. All of the above. 2. It is still only $15.00. 3. Receive updates for as little as $2.00. MachV has been supported since 1987, perhaps longer than any other shareware program for the Amiga. 4. Free telephone support. 5. Enjoy a clean conscience. The price is the same for foreign orders. Canadian users may send $15.00 in US dollars or a Canadian check (plus exchange rate adjustment currently a total of $19.00). Upgrades are also the same, $2.00. Foreign users may send a $15.00 check drawn on a US bank or $15.00 cash in a (preferably) registered letter. Please...No EuroCheques. There is a $15 dollar fee to process these. Make checks payable to Brian Moats. Please print your name and address clearly! If you have any questions or problems, include them and they will be answered in a note on your disk. For convenience, use the included "Registration.form". Brian Moats Polyglot Software 884 W. Melrose Ln.
