I could bitch about how Shareware has been treating me (not well), but let me
tell you something else.  People look for more bang for their buck in this
time of economic repression.  Z-Link is decent.  But for 2 or 3 times the
money, you can get ProTERM, which outranks Z-Link in many ways.

Improve your product, and bring the price down.  Don't do the mistake that was
done in the 20's which lead to the depression.  If something wasn't selling,
they brought the price UP, and people couldn't afford it, so they were loosing
more sales.  If they had brought the prices doen to a wholesale (or
loss-leader) price, the depression wouldn't have come.  I don't want to make a
course in economics here, but do you get my point?

Look at it this way.  You can sell it commerically, have it pirated by the
first able person, and make no more money!
