I've seen a few copies of shadow still on the wall in local stores. ( At least here we have local stores ) I don't think Antic is shipping it or supporting it at all, in fact, of the 6 warranty cards I mailed to Antic during their heyday, I never received one newsletter, catalogue or any other ack. I think I saw Mike Vederman complaining here, or on GEnie, that he hadn't seen a royalty check in years. I bought, and use Shadow regularly and would like to publicly call on DClick to follow CFJ's recent re-doing of macro-mouse as a new and improved program, and give us another Shadow with new and improved features like zmodem. Any others to show these guys there'd be some sales. Shadow is excellant, except for a few annoyances, like, if you time out in a batch download, you lose all of the files. Other than that, it has a permanent place on my machine anyways. Thanks to Mike and Paul, even if Antic never allowed you to provide a followup support. >Steven Lee -- John Henders jhenders@jonh.wimsey.bc.ca Vancouver,B.C. or jhenders@wimsey.bc.ca or ubc.cs!van-bc!jonh!jhenders
