I know it took me a while to find it, and then a bit longer to check
that it was correct etc. However it is in section 3, titled
registration of shareware, in the readme.1st dated 03/10/95
which was in the 2.16d release.

agree however that the information should be made clearer,
something to correct in the next release.
