Dear valued SoftMaker customer:

You have purchased TextMaker for Linux.

We have just completed a port of TextMaker to the FreeBSD
operating system and are making this available as a free
download to you.

TextMaker for FreeBSD is identical feature-wise to revision
392 of TextMaker for Linux and supports all x86-based
FreeBSD systems starting with FreeBSD 4.8. (We simply haven't
tested under older FreeBSD builds).

Get the FreeBSD installation archive here:

(Please keep this URL confidential.)

NOTE: Please do not pass along this installation file or
pointers to it. You receive it only because you are a paying
customer. We'll have free trial versions later.

To activate TextMaker, please use the serial number you already
received for TextMaker for Linux.

FreeBSD system? (if not, please file bug reports to
beta at softmaker.de)

3. Which printed magazines do you read that cover FreeBSD?

4. Which BSD-specific web sites do you visit?

5. How can we reach FreeBSD users? How can we ensure that
