   * By postal mail, or e-mail (your choice), you will get a one-of-a-kind
     registration code set for use with your name.
   * Players can beat the game fully
   * The Editor options are unlocked
   * 1-25 IGMs are supported instead of just one!
   * Free upgrades & Full support

Q : Yeah, but how much is it going to set me back?

A : $15 (includes shipping & handling).

   Fill out REGISTER.DOC and mail it to the address included in that
   file. The day we receive your mail, is the same day we ship off your
   new registration codes. Please allow 1-3 weeks to receive them. Or, if
   you check off the e-mail box, we will send them to you by e-mail.

   When you receive your registration codes, enter them in the Avalon's
