REGISTRATION _________________________________________________________________ Renegade is *FREE*, or perhaps, "donationware". However, it is requested that if you already haven't registered for Renegade support on the author's board, you do so with the enclosed REGISTER.DOC. The cost is only $25. Considering Renegade and all of it's related utilities are FREE, $25 is nothing. In addition, your $25 will buy you a permanent account on The Digital Frontier, the author's four line system with all the latest Renegade utilities available for download. If you do NOT register, then you have no right to complain about anything. To paraphrase Martin Pollard: Why am I doing this? It's quite simple: I'm tired of giving away something for free, and getting nothing but grief in return. The majority of the Renegade sysops have no respect for software authors, conference rules, or even common human decency. They not only expect everything handed to them for free, they DEMAND it, and expect me to kiss their asses while doing it. So, in exchange for my sacrificing a significant portion of my life and mental health in providing you with Renegade, I am asking that you help me pay for my BBS. If you don't feel Renegade is worth $25, then I can't see why you're running it. I certainly can't see any reason why I should assist you in running Renegade. To register for support, you need simply to fill out REGISTER.DOC included in the RGMAINT package, print it, and mail it to the author at the address indicated. CLARIFICATION _________________________________________________________________ Since there are many people out there that are hell-bent on spreading rumors and putting words in my mouth, I figure I'll clarify: 1. RENEGADE is FREE. You do NOT pay for it. 2. If you LIKE Renegade, I ask that you register on my system for support and files (permanently) for $25. 3. This is all because I am tired of wasting my time doing something completely for free, only to have to deal with the complaining, demanding, and grief that I continously get in netmail, email, and the various Renegade echoes out there. Now I am wasting a significant amount of MONEY running a 4 line system for Renegade support. Furthermore: 1. If you DON'T register, that's fine too. 2. If you DON'T register, you have NO right to bitch and moan when I don't go out of my way to personally help you. 3. No, I will NOT go out of my way to completely stop helping anybody who doesn't register for support. 4. The reverse will simply be true; I won't waste my time and add to my stress level by going out of my way for people who don't register. 5. For those of you that DON'T already realize it; I'm not only a full time student, but I have a job too. I have very little free time after work and school, and am tired of donating it and my money to what at times seems to be the most ungrateful faction of electronic society ever. Conversions / Updates Notes on xx-xx-96 and later: Read Whatdone #750 or your customized screens with MCI codes will not look right. You must add your own %LFs to the -L cmdkeys. Notes on 04-05-96 and later: You must use UPD0405.EXE to upgrade the USERS.DAT file to 04-05-96 standards. Notes on 05-09-94 and later: Your modem configs will all be toast when upgrading from 01-02-93 or earlier. Redo them. Notes on 12-25-93 and later: Delete user.idx Set your Network QWK ACS in Offline config to % if you don't know that you need it otherwise. Check your credit system configuration and make sure people can logon your system (set them all to zero if you don't know you need them on). Notes on 4-01-93 and later; Renegade needs an 80186 or better processor. If you are using an 8088 or 8086, you can replace your processor with an NEC V20 or V30 processor respectively, for as little as $5.You will then be able to run most 286 applications. You can obtain a V20 or V30 from: Memory Express (800)877-8188 15140 Valley Blvd. City of Industry, CA 91744
