Users marked with a * char are known Developers, they are not (full) online
with the Octopus Bulletin Board and have a longer experied date.

Many thanks to my Dutch Beta-Testers and all other Octopus Beta-Testers for
their bug-reports, ideas and suggestions.

See the Octopus Information Box in GEM environment or press HELP key in TOS
enviroment for "How to Pay" and Shareware information.

For improving the Octopus support is the N.SUP.BETA.OCTOPUS NeST echo
available, contact your Hub/Host for it.  If you don't have a NeST address,
contact me for alternatives.

Also for AtariNet owners the echo A.SUP.BETA.OCTOPUS available, contact
your hub/host for this echo.  This echo is gated with the NeST echo so all
messages will reach other users in NeST.


         What is the best way to pay for your Octopus full key?
         """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

First, look around you if there is a Octopus Support Site available in your
country and contact him how to pay for Octopus.  If a site not exist you can
send it directly to me using one of the following ways:

* Cash is in most times the fastest and easyest way, but there's allways
  a risk that i don't receive it and then your money is gone.

  If you are doing this use registered letters because this is more reliable
  then when you don't do this.

  When you send cash money to me, do not use strange currencys but *PLEASE*
  only DFL (dutch guilders)!    DM (Deutsche Mark or US $ (US dollar) are 
  also allowed but these currencys are bouncing continue up & down last time
  in value.	     See the Octopus information box for the lastest amount of 
  these currencys.

* International postal order is also a easy and reliable way to transfer the
  money to me.  Don't use this method if you live outside Europe 'cause this
  method isn't reliable outside Europe.

  Better use the first or next method.

* Cheques are also usable but if you are using other cheques then Eurocheque
  remember that it cost ME money when i encash it at our local bank.

      Eurocheque    - no extra costs for me in Europe.
      Thomas Cook   - add DFL 25,- extra amount.
      Other cheques - add also DFL 25,- extra amount for safety.

* Direkt bank transfer is also possible, but this will cost YOU some extra
  money when transferring it to me.  This method is very reliable and cost
  1-2 weeks time.
