UserLand Needs Your Help

UserLand Software is growing. We're getting ready to raise more money with the intent of going commercial with Frontier 5. We believe we have a strong competitive product; that we're leading in an important area, and that now it's time to invest in our company, our products and our users.

Last month we brought Dave Carlick on as a board member. This month we're building a formal business plan, and next month we'll present that plan to potential investors.

You can help. One of our biggest assets is the creative investment users have made in applications built with Frontier, especially web and networking apps. We want to know how you're using the product. The simplest way to do this is to open up a registration process, so that's what we've done.

How you can help

So, if you use Frontier, please visit the registration site, and fill out the form:

http://ws3.scripting.com/register/

You'll get back a registration number. Please keep it in a safe place. We'll make special offers based on registration numbers. If you've registered Frontier 4.2.3, you'll get a great deal on Frontier 5, or 5.1; whichever is the first commercial release.

We'll have some fun with this too. It pays to register early and get a low, low registration number.

Thank you from all of us!

And as you tell your story, remember that you're helping UserLand, and know that we realllly appreciate that!

Let's have fun!
