          Why You Should Register UUPC/extended

          Kendra Electronic Wonderworks now offers the opportunity for you
          to register your copy of UUPC/extended.  Here's why:

               Three years of work have gone into it here at the
               Wonderworks.  This is a non-trivial amount.

               Most of the e-mail received outside the KEW.COM domain is
               now related to UUPC/extended.  This, combined with the major
               intra-domain e-mail requirements68 for KEW.COM having gone
               away,  threatens to make UUPC/extended its own perpetual
               motion machine: we maintain UUPC/extended to stay in touch
               with the outside world, and the outside world sends us mail
               about maintaining UUPC/extended.

               It is an accepted fact that the original UUPC was not
               written by Kendra Electronic Wonderworks, and that others
               have written numerous features.  What is not as clear is the
               work done here which goes into integrating and polishing
               these features.  Because of work done here, people can take
               the work done all over the world and use it by unpacking a
               few files.

               Ryder rents trucks, Avis tries harder, MIT wins the
               Yale/Harvard game, and Kendra Electronic Wonderworks hunts
               bugs.  Lots of bugs: bugs from the dawn of UUPC, bugs from
               other people's code, and even bugs we introduced  (OOPS).  A
               second system is maintained here primarily for providing
               downloading services to others via anonymous UUCP and for
               hunting bugs.  Only RAID kills more bugs.  We also integrate
               bug fixes from other people, so those few files we give to
               others to unpack not only have more features but also bug
               fixes.

               Bug hunting can be a bitch, and writing documentation is
               worse.  Kendra Electronic Wonderworks has done both gratis
               for two years.  Beginning with release 1.11m, the
               documentation has been expanded, and will be further
               enhanced to make the package easier to use.  This does not
               benefit the internal users; we know how it works, and don't
               need the documents.

          UUPC/extended 1.12b Installation and User's Reference


               Because if you register, we can buy more chocolate ice cream
               for Snuffles.

          The short version of the above is you have the package; what you
          can optionally pay for is additional enhancements and support by
          the creatures most knowledgeable about UUPC/extended.  However,
          we would rather you used an unregistered copy of our package than
          used someone else's inferior package.

          And as an added bonus

          Send us anything and Snuffles will think you're wonderful.

          Send us $20 and you can call us for telephone support at the
          UUPC/extended support telephone number [(617) 641-3452] for 18
          months.  We'll even return your phone calls in the United States.

          Send us $40 and you can use the support number for 18 months.
          When available, we'll also mail the next major release of
          UUPC/extended on floppies.

          Send us $50 and you can use support number for 18 months, we'll
          mail the next major release of UUPC/extended when available, and
          we'll throw in a hard copy of the documentation.

          Send us $100 and you can use the support number for 18 months,
          we'll mail the next major release of UUPC/extended, throw in a
          hard copy of the documentation, and have you committed to the
          sanitarium of your choice.

          Corporations cannot be committed to sanitariums, but we will take
          your money.  Use the above schedule for each contact person, and
          add $10 for each additional node supported.  For example, XYZ
          Systems Corp. has one contact person who calls the Wonderworks
          for support and needs the next release and hard copy documents
          ($50), and one backup contact at a secondary location ($20).
          They want the docs so that they can distribute them to 10
          different UUPC nodes scattered around the company ($10 each).
          The primary contact person figures out how to get a contribution
          to Snuffles' Chocolate Ice Cream Fund ($1) past accounting.  XYZ
          Systems would thus send us a check for $171.

          We will invoice corporations on request.  Corporations wishing to
          register 100 or more nodes should contact us for large site
          pricing.


          Disclaimer of warranty

          Please note that none of the above contradicts the No Warranty
          clause of our license agreement.  Should UUPC/extended prove
          defective or unsuitable for your purpose, we will gladly refund
          your registration fee.  We will not, however, be liable for any
          incidental or consequential damages resulting from your use of
          the package.  Please read our license agreement (Licensing,
