True -- Personally, I dont think that is in itself a bad thing , but a

No reason to do it at all Dennis.

I have send a few shareware contributions (DBW Render is one).... and in one
notable case I have FAR exceeded what the author asked for. This was W.
Hawes's "BATTLEMECH" game.   Bar far this is the BEST Amiga program written
of its type, commercial or otherwise , the upgrades have been very useful. 
Every update I got a cfard for like 6$ for the upgrade , OR 2$ and a floppy
, I would often send 15$ AND a floppy.

The point is , GOOD shareware is , IMHO supported by the users.
