About SoftCode
--------------

SoftCode is a completely new method of storing and transfering program
and data files. Softcode generates codenumbers from executable program
files and vice versa. So it isn't necessary anymore to store the complete
binary files. Just enter the codenumber - Softcode generates the file
for you.

Sounds incredible, but it really works !

SoftCode adds a new dimension to transfering files:

- If you just finished writing a new computer program and now you want
  to send it to a friend, simply generate the codenumber, call him via
  telephone and tell him this number. Your friend will enter it into
  his Amiga and SoftCode will generate the file for him.

- If you need an update from a software company, they don't need to send
  any disks to you. They'll tell you the codenumber needed for the update.
  You'll enter it and SoftCode generates the updated files.

- You can order software via telephone, just like IBM users do it with their
  pay-CD. The difference is that you don't need the CD :-)

- You can store the codenumbers in files so that you don't need to enter
  them every time you need a file. You don't need the binary files anymore
  so delete them.
