Could you please post the following info:

1. What constitutes acceptable proof of what one paid for one's Uport products?
   (i.e. do I need an invoice showing the amount, or do they want the
   serialized diskettes, and go by the last retail price, or what other
   way of determining the credit amount?)

2. What are the respective prices of 386/ix components:

   -- Runtime

   -- Development System

   -- Text Preparation System/DWB

3. For some of us who are still stuck with 286 machines, would they consider
   an upgrade deal to their old 286 system?
