ALL CURRENTLY REGISTERED USERS OF INTELEC SOFTWARE: READ BEFORE UPGRADING!!!!

Intelec Software has gone to a new "KEY" file based system of registration.
The old system of registration & Validation Codes will no longer work, but
don't lose your Validation Codes! With them, you will be able to retrieve
the KEY Files for the products you have registered. It is *Important* that 
you have the Validation code. (Usually a 4-8 digit number, and the second
number you placed in your Config Files on Line 3)

There are 2 methods with which you can retrieve your Key file (powerpak owners
see special notice at the end):

[Internet E-Mail] 

    If you send the Sysop and BBS name, and Validation code for each 
    PPE you are registered for in an e-mail message to:

        harchon@centuryinter.net  

    Your Key(s) will be generated and returned via e-mail. Please note that
    the name@address will be recorded, and any subsequent requests will
    have to come from the same address.

[Pick-up Site]

            Blackbeard's BBS  318-468-3385 (v.34+)
            Intelec Online    916-534-1253 (v.34+)

    If you would rather call one of the Pick-up Sites, follow this procedure-
        1. Call either BBS. 
        2. Log on USING THE REGISTERED SYSOP NAME (not BBS name)!
        3. Enter the Key Retrieval Utility (Enter KEYS from the main board)
        4. If your Login ID matches the name we have recorded, you will
           be displayed the PPE's you are registered for. Enter the
           number of the Key you wish to retrieve.
        5. You will then be prompted for your Validation Code. Enter it 
            EXACTLY. (Three mistakes and you'll be TCAN'd from the utility
            until the sysop manually removes it!)
            If the Validation code matches, the KEY will be generated and
            the download started. 
        6. Repeat 4 and 5 for each key you're registered for.

    Note: if two people have the same name, this may cause problems with the
    second name. Leave a comment and the correct information will be 
    made available...

[PowerPak Users]
    
    If you have a PowerPak registration, your will only receive 1 Key file,
    named POWERPAK.KEY, which you will copy to each PPE directory. Do NOT
    rename the file!

[final notes from the programmer]

    That's it. Read the instructions for installing each PPE. While I've
    attempted to keep the upgrades as "copy over" as possible, there have been
    quite a few changes in several. Some have new lines in the ConfigFiles,
    (or don't use the Configfile any more), new or changed lines in Prompt 
    Files, and several other changes. 

    Unless you are using a powerpak Key, your Key file will be named the 
    same as the PPE it's for. Do not attempt to rename them for use with other
    PPE's. Each Key file is "self-contained" and will not work with other
    PPE's, even if renamed...

    I can be found for support, suggestions, bug reports, and comments via
    several methods:

              Intelec: IS_Support, Sysops, PPL_Language, CDC-Support, PCBoard
      Intelec Netmail: Herbert Bushong@239:600/0
         Fido Netmail: Herbert Bushong@1:19/19
      Internet e-mail: harchon@centuryinter.net

    I hope you find the new versions an improvement. I've spent a lot of
    time overhauling them and have tested them as much as possible. Several
    have also been tested on another system for thoroughness and they 
    appear to work as good, if not better, than their predecessors! Your
    feedback will be most welcome!
