Don't bother, Joe, it's going to be freeware.  While I certainly wouldn't
mind if folks sent me something for the incredible amount of time and
effort I've put into it, they certainly don't have to.  It would just help
me out, that's all...

Don't worry about it.  I'm the one writing the programs -- if i want to
give it away, let me... :-)

Don't worry about that, either -- I realize there will always be a bunch of
malcontents everywhere, but right now I have one thing to worry about, and
that's shipping GS/ShrinkIt somewhat on-time... I was working on the comment
editor tonight.  You can include comments with individual files inside
and archive and edit those comments later (hurray for textedit! :-)
