View Ref-FileInterActive supported software scheme 29th April 1998
About the schemeSince 1993 InterActive has offered a convenient way to register non-
commercial software. The scheme was launched by Joe ConnorInterActive UK Support

to encourage
'foreign' authors to produce and support English language versions of
their software AND to encourage UK users to register 'foreign' software.
InterActive continues to expand and currently supports over 50 non-
commercial titles and 26 different authors and over 2000 registered users.
The authors deserve your support and feedback so if you're regularly using
any unregistered software please register today -- you nearly always get
something extra in return:
- Key to remove features reserved for registered users
- Local telephone, post and email support
- Free update service
- No hassle handling foreign currency
- Labelled Master disk and registration letter
Registration fees are set to cover the currency handling, stationary,
media and postage costs incurred in mailing out master disks and providing
support.
Although primarily a UK support scheme everyone is welcome to register via
InterActive as an alternative to registering directly with the author/s.
The currently supported software is:

===========================================================================
How to register from inside the UK1) Use the included ORDER_FM.TXT or print out/Email the form below to
select the required software
2) Make sure your name and address is included and *legible*!
3) Make cheques/POs payable to InterActive for the total amount
4) Send the completed order form and payment to InterActive
Additionally from outside the UK- Add £1 to your order total to cover postage
- Make certain payment is *in Sterling* drawn on a *UK* bank address
The following methods are known to work:
-Bank draft/cheque
-Eurocheque
-International Post Office cheque payable *in Sterling*
-Cash! Sterling, Dollars and DMs are fine -- but at your own risk!
Country specific informationCanada: The Canadian Post Office can issue money orders in *Sterling*.
These are hassle free and inexpensive!
Australia: Australia Post only sell overseas money orders in US dollars
so please get a bank draft made out in Sterling drawn on a
UK bank address.
NZ: Please visit your Post Office and get a money order made out in
*Sterling*.
France: For some reason I'm getting a number of local cheques (i.e.
written in Sterling but drawn on a French bank address.
I can accept these so long as they are made payable to Joe
Connor (NOT InterActive) but they do cost an extra £5 to
negotiate so you must add an extra £5 to your order total.
Ideally use the Post Office GiroBank system.
Europe: In general Post Office GiroBank money orders or Eurocheques are
the best way to pay.
USA: What a nightmare! Can I suggest a day trip to a Canadian post
office? I've seen everything from Amex travellers cheques (add
£5 to order total), local cheques (no can do), cash (fine - but
at your own risk).
An International money order (add £5 to order total) made
out in Sterling drawn on a UK banking address is currently
the best solution, sorry! :-(

How long will I have to wait?Due to the number of people taking advantage of the registration
service and my other commitments as editor of Atari Computing I can't
always reply as quickly as I'd like to. Often I'm waiting for a new
version or simply too busy earning a living, so please be patient!
