But it kinda makes you think it's not really worth the trouble to go commercial, eh? Might as well go SHAREWARE, eh? Startup costs are less, and you probably will make more money (Maybe $10 total instead of $10 in the hole). Less work too. BTW: as an aside to Jack Radigan: How is your experience with JRCOMM? It is shareware right? Have you made any profit on it yet? Is it worth it? [Jack releases old versions of JRCOMM to the public and if you register, you get the latest version and support.] -- John Sparks | D.I.S.K. 24hrs 2400bps.
