Registration benefits

There are lots of benefits for you if you register this program.  Some of them are:

1. The registered version supports 199 countries and over 70 cities in'Worrld Clock' as opposed to 16 countries and 16 cities in 'World Clock' supported by the shareware version of this program.

2. The registered version has a reset option which allows you to reset all the exchange rates to their default values.  This option is very useful if you screw up the exchange rates and want to reset their values.
