Registration
------------
Zterm is Shareware, which means you can try the program before deciding
to purchase it, and you may give copies of the trial version to other
Psion Series 3a/3c users to try. However, you cannot legally continue to
use the program if you decide not to register it, nor may you give
copies of the registered version or the registration code to others.  
You may use the trial version for 30 days, and I will provide assistance
to get the program to work with your Psion 3a during that period, but
further support is available only to registered users. 

The registration fee is UKP L15 or USD $25.

Payment can be made by...

	* Cash only (no cheques please) to

charge an excessive amount to cash them. The easiest way to register 
is by sending cash in a good strong envelope (between two pieces
of paper so you cannot see through the envelope).

the nag screen and limitations. There is no need to re-install.
