Actually, I was pretty chill.  I'm wasn't upset, just wondering where my
money is.  If I flame, you'll know it!  :-)  Even if I am registered I have
no intention of downloading the release from his BBS.  Long distance charges
at 2400 baud are NOT our friends!

Agreed.  But we'd all appreciate it more if we knew for a fact that he was
working on it and not just taking all our hard earned money and running,
n'est-ce pas?  My situation was this:  I've sent a man I don't know thirty
(or whatever the fee is) dollars.  Since that time I haven't seen the
product, any announcement that the product would be delayed, or signs of the
man active on the nets.  Wouldn't *you* start to wondering?

As it turns out, the very day I posted my message Jack responded to the email
I sent him.  I don't think he'll mind me spreading the word.  (At least I
*hope* he won't mind, 'cause I'm about to do it!)  Here's to hoping he found
the last bug!

  I can appreciate how annoying it must be, it's quite frustrating to keep
running into little kinks here and there which are holding up the 1.02
release.  I should finally have it out the door this week.
