Lines: 28 I am a registered user of B&F and find the program to be everything that I need. Yes, I had to put up with a couple of annoying features before I registered, but now that I am a registered user, I no longer have to. I have tried Software Carousel, and was very dissatisfied. I am forced to use command.com :-( instead of my normal command proccessor 4DOS. I feel that BBS's are an appropriate way to distribute shareware. It is an easy channel for small companies, and I as a user, don't have to pay for it before I try it out. Go to your local store and ask to try software before you pay for it. I also get better support from shareware companies that I do from large corporations. Disclamer: I have no affiliation with JP Software or Progressive Solutions other than as a satisfied user. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~ If a jimbuck stands alone by the sea, on a night when the ~ ~ dark moon sings, how many grains on sand in a single one of ~ ~ his footprints? ~ ~ ~ ~ steve kite - hp-ptp!stevek - stevek@hp-ptp.HP.COM ~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
