According to whom you can *NOT* distribute crippleware (Software that goes buggy after a certian period of time) This is a method of requiring users to register software that belongs in the sewer where it was originated. If the users of 4DOS are not willing to pay the minimal fee to register their copy so be it, but then there may not be any new versions of 4DOS comming out, and I for one like it. So PLEASE register your copy. And yes I have registered mine. -Walden --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Walden H.
