DB> (1:218/700) Bink could never be registered. The whole "unregistered" thing is just a joke. I don't remember if Vince Perriello told me this in oerson, or if I read it in one of the docs, but he said his copy would *always* say UNREGISTERED. From the 2.60 docs... ----- BT_User.txt begins ----- NO REGISTRATION REQUIRED Although BinkleyTerm is Copyrighted, it is "Freely Available Software" and as a non-commercial user you are not expected or required to register it, nor to pay for the privilege of using it. While a registration is only required for extreme commercial use (see LICENSE.260 in the distribution archive), the program declares to other systems that it is "UNREGISTERED", which is quite true if you think about it, but if you prefer this message not to be displayed you can do one of the following: 1. Use the "Serial" configuration statement and pick a serial number of your own choice. Note: Do not include anything except numerals in the number. or, 2. Edit the file ENGLISH.TXT that is in the 2.60 archive to display any alternative wording that appeals to you. After you do this you need to recompile ENGLISH.TXT to BINKLEY.LNG as described under "Modification..." in the Reference Manual. ----- BT_User.txt ends ----- ----- BT_Ref.txt begins ----- Serial By default BinkleyTerm identifies itself as "UNREGISTERED". You can include the 'Serial' statement, with a number of your choice, and the "UNREGISTERED" notices will disappear. This is OK with the authors as long as you are complying with LICENSE.260 (which basically says that unless you’re a pretty seriously commercial situation, you are licensed free of charge). The number should NOT include any punctuation characters. ----- BT_Ref.txt ends ----- --- Msged/NT 6.0.1 * Origin: Somewhere in New Hampshire's White Mountains (1:132/174) .
