If I'm wrong, what's the difference between PD software and (freeware/shareware)? I know that with freeware software, you aren't obligated to send in money, and with shareware you are, but they're both in the 'public domain'. I also realize that alot of people distinguish between freeware and shareware as saying the shareware ISN'T in the PD, even though, in reality it is. But even if that were true, what would be the difference between PD and freeware? ---------------------------------------- BITNET-- mquinn@utcvm <------------send files here pro-line-- mquinn@pro-gsplus.cts.com
