I am the author of iwscript. I was down in COMDEX last week and didn't
keep up with the Net postings, so I was rather surprised when I returned
to hear from my friends that I've been flamed.

Yesterday I received a cheque in the mail from a user who has installed
iwscript. His letter reads like this:

"Thanks for iwscript. I find the program very useful. The best $25 I've
ever spent! .... I hope you will ignore what EPS has been saying on
the Internet. I assure you, it does not reflect my own opinion"

The nice thing about shareware is that if you don't like the product,
you don't have to pay for it. Nobody puts a gun to your head. For the
record, iwscript does do everything I say it will do in the documentation.
Yes, it WILL allow you to type "lpr <some file>"; I use it all the time.

I don't want to perpetuate something as stupid as a flame war on the net,
so Eric and anyone else who wishes to have their say should email me.
For the record, I've given telephone support to people who HAVE NOT paid
and probably never will, so please don't pin this label of money grubbing
fiend on me.
