*Bzzzt!*  A better way would be to buy the program from MacConnection
or some other mail-order place that offers 30 or 60 day money-back
guarantees.  This way you can try out the program legally ... and you'll
have the latest version and full documentation.  And you'll be able to
get your money back if you don't like it.
