        This  file  contains   important  licensing, registration and
        evaluation information about the SPLOT for Windows program.

        SPLOT  is  distributed  as  "Shareware"  or  "User  Supported
        Software"  and  is  fully  copyrighted.  If  you register the
        program you will receive these benefits:

          1) The latest version of SPLOT.
          2) A printed user's manual.
          3) A printed technical reference which describes
             all plotter instructions supported by SPLOT.
          4) An end to the nag screens and opening banners.
          5) Deep discounts on the next major versions.

	The  single  user  registration fee  for SPLOT for Windows is
        $65.00 (US funds).  The  multisystem  site  fee  for SPLOT is
        $140.00. Users outside of Europe should include an additional
        $5.00 for international airmail.

	Author can accept payment in these three ways:

	 1) In cash (money enclosed) - this is the most quick method,
	    but at your risk.

	 2) Credit card  -  MasterCard, VISA and American Express are
	    accepted.  Please,  fill out  carefully  the  credit card
	    information in order form.

	 3) Bank or travelers cheque enclosed - please make  a cheque
	    payable in US funds.

	Since  the  SPLOT  program  is  always distributed with a DLL
        library (libraries)  adapted for  a certain  plotter type, do
	not forget to mention the plotter type with which you want to
	use the  SPLOT program.   A list  of plotters  you can choose
	from is given in the  PLOTTERS.TXT file.  In this  file there
	are also given the parameters of these plotters together with
	a list of supported instructions. It makes possible to choose
	a suitable plotter  type even if  your plotter is  not listed
	(most  plotters  are  compatible  with  some plotter from the
	list). Of course, you can  order SPLOT program with more  DLL
	libraries  for  different  plotter  types.   In this case the
	single  user  registration  fee  for  any  further version is
	$20.00 (+ $5.00 outside Europe) and the multisystem site  fee
	is $40.00 (+ $5.00 outside  Europe).  This principle is  also
	valid for an  upgrade.  If  you have registered  at least one
	SPLOT program version at the full price of $65.00  ($140.00),
	now and in the future only $20.00 ($40.00) is to be paid  for
	all other versions.

	Special offer:
	Registered users of  the MS-DOS version of  the SPLOT program
	can order the MS-Windows version for $45.00 only ( $95.00 for
	the  multisystem  site  licence )  (+ $5.00  outside  Europe).
	In this  case fill out your  serial number  in order form and
	mark it as `upgrade from DOS version'.
	Note:  The  latest  MS-DOS  version  of the SPLOT program  is
	available  on  all  SIMTEL20  archives  in   <MSDOS.GRAPHICS>
	directory as SPLTXXX.ZIP file (recently SPLT250.ZIP).
