DATE:  8/18/87
We have arrived in Pennsylvania, and have unpacked enough to get up and
running.  Therefore, it's finally time to announce the release of
version10.0 of Red Ryder.  This is actually a pre-release announcement,
as we are still waiting on the physical components of the package to
arrive here (manuals, disks, boxes, labels, etc).  However, it's our
best guess that everything should be in place to start shipping version
10.0 sometime this week or next. Here's the inside poop on version
10.0.
 

NEW ADDRESS AND PHONE NUMBER:
The FreeSoft Company
150 Hickory Drive
Beaver Falls, PA 15010
(412) 846-2700

Hours: Monday through Friday, 9am to 5pm eastern time zone
 
RETAIL (New Orders):
The retail price is $80 ($85 in U.S. funds outside of the U.S. and
Canada).  Those wishing to become authorized dealers, or obtain
multiple copy discounts (10 copies or more for internal use - not
resale) should contact FreeSoft directly.
 

UPDATES:
The cost for updating from a previously registered version to version
10.0 is $20 ($25 in U.S. funds outside of the U.S. and Canada). Update
requests will take priority over new orders for the next 30 days, which
means they will be sorted out and filled before the new orders each
business day.  Because of the number of update orders that we expect to
fill, it is imperative that you follow all of the rules we are about to
present TO THE LETTER.
 
1) Don't forget to enclose a check for $20 (U.S. funds).  If you
enclose a check for less than that amount, your update request will be
returned unprocessed.
 
2) YOU MUST ENCLOSE THE RED RYDER MASTER DISK WE SENT YOU WHEN YOU
REGISTERED OR RECEIVED A PREVIOUS UPDATE THROUGH FREESOFT.  This is
your proof of registration.
 
3) You must supply the exact name that the disk was registered under.
 
4) Quantity discounts are not available for update requests.
 
5) Write on the outside of the envelope on the BOTTOM LEFTHAND CORNER
the words "10.0 Update Request" and circle it.  If you forget this,
your order will not be sorted out to the top of the stack. Because we
are straining our suppliers, a delay in filling your order is possible.
 However, we will endeavor to fill and have your order in the mail
within 10 days of receiving it. 
This announcement is necessarily brief, but a more complete list
ofversion 10.0's new features will be forthcoming on the FreeSoft
RoundTable.  Stay tuned.
