Here are my impressions I got from the various answers I
got about shareware in Europe and my application TeachTextMaker:

The main reason why people don't pay, seems to be based upon the prejudice that
it is very difficult and expensive to get money to Europe.

You have 3 means of getting money to Europe:

   *cheque : unacceptible, because the receiver pays the transaction costs
             (up to $15) . Use only for site-licence payments (>$50).
   *international money order: the sender pays the transaction costs.
             Expensive for the sender, so not recommended.
   *cash: ideal for small amounts of money; Just put $15 in an envelope,
          and send it via AIR-MAIL. This method is quite safe. The sender
          only pays the cost of the fee, and the receiver can convert
          the dollars to local currency without any loss.
          This is in fact the way I got my first fee. No fuss at all !

In an e-mail a person recommended to get more exposure for TTM by uploading it
to more online services like GEnie, America Online, BIX, Delphi, ...
Unfortunately I have no access to any of these. Would any kind soul be willing
to help me ?
