I've got a question for anyone who has ever distributed a program via
bulletin boards as shareware:

Was it worth it?  

What kind of program did you submit?  

Did you submit the "full-blown" version, or did you submit a "restricted" 
version, and ask for payment before the "full-blown" version with 
documentation was sent?  

What kind of response did you receive (did ANYONE send any money)?

What is a reasonable price?  Most shareware programs I've seen were in
the $10-25 range.

I appreciate responses via E-mail - I'll post a summary of responses
to the above questions if there's interest.

Thanks.
