Just to pick nits, I was under the impression that if it couldn't be distributed freely, it wasn't shareware. After all, if shareware isn't shared, what's the point?

True. However, I've never heard of his software correctly described as shareware, and he specifically states that it _isn't_. >/s Murph [Internet] > or ...{psuvax1 or mcvax}!uconnvm.bitnet!sewall [UUCP] > + Standard disclaimer applies ("The opinions expressed are my own" etc.) Kevin Lepard Bitnet: Sasquatch@albion.bitnet Disclaimer: These opinions do not necessarily represent those of Albion College.
