1.3 Registering Frogs vs. Cars

Frogs vs. Cars is Shareware, and costs $10

The Frogs vs. Cars Demo will work for a 30 day trial period. At the end

of the 30 Days, it will stop working. To avert this tragedy, you will

need to get in touch with Stand Alone to register your software. You can

register with us by several different methods.

You will need to include the following information, no matter how you

choose to register. Most importantly, you need to include your name

EXACTLY as it is entered in your PalmPilot, including spaces. We use

this to generate your password, so it must be precise. You will need to

specify which programs you wish to register, and include payment for

each of them. We accept Visa, Mastercard, and American Express. If you

are using normal mail, you can send us a check as well. Make sure to

include your card number, the expiration date, and what type of card you

are using. You also need to give us a way to get in touch with you.

Email is the preferred way, followed by your address and phone number.

An Email address is not strictly necessary, but it will result in much

faster service.

For instant gratification, register by phone, and pay using Visa or

Mastercard. To do so, call (773) 477-2492 and we will give you a

password right over the phone.

Alternatively, you can send us a check to the address below.

You can also Email us. Just Email us the relevant information, and weÕll

send you a code. If you are registering through Compuserve, use, GO

SWREG.

Once you register, you will receive a password from us. You can install

this password one of two ways. There is an option to Enter Password via

the Enter Password option in the menu. Tap on it to bring up a screen

that has a space to enter the password.

1.5 Reporting Bugs If you find a bug in our software, it would be

helpful if you reported the bug to us. To report a bug, please Email us

with Bug Report Request in the subject line. In the Email, include the

following information:

¥What type of PalmPilot you are using (i.e. Personal)

¥The software name and version number (i.e. Frogs vs. Cars 1.0)

¥The error number

¥A brief description of how we can recreate the error

¥Your name and Email address so we can contact you when the bug is fixed

When reporting bugs, it is best to Email us, rather than calling, so

that the programers have a written record of the information they need

to solve the problem. As soon as we receive your Email, the programer

will examine the problem, and fix it.. Because our programers are busy

creating software, it can take a while for them to reply, but they will

release a new version of the software that fixes the bug as soon as they

can.
