I am thinking of purchasing MANX C from someone second hand. I only want to do this if I will be able to get regular upgrades from MANX. Does anyone know MANX's policy on transfer of ownership?? -- % Alan W.

When I bought a used 1000 with the Manx commercial system last year, I wrote up a little summary of all the hardware and software that I bought, and I and the person I bought it from both signed the sheet. I sent this list off to all the hardware and software companies. Even though the one year upgrade period had expired on my Manx software, Manx sent me the 3.4b upgrade (with library source) when I asked, because the previous owner had not bothered to upgrade. I would recommend this approach to anyone who buys used hardware or software and wants to get appropriate support from the manufacturer. - Ranjit "Trespassers w" ranjit@eniac.seas.upenn.edu mailrus!eecae!netnews!eniac!...

I called MANX publishers and they said $75 to transfer owner of record. You need the original manual. ...BJ

All it takes is a call and a credit card, and, of course, the serial number of a valid copy. I did this with a copy that I'd purchased from a friend of mine, and was even able to get the upgrade from 3.4 to 3.6 and the SDB for only $50.00 (this was a while ago). -- -randy groves - Boeing Advanced Technology Center UUCP: ..!uw-beaver!uw-june!bcsaic!randy USNail: Boeing Computer Services CSNET: randy@boeing.com PO Box 24346 M/S 7L-68 VOICE: (206)865-3424 Seattle, WA 98124
