I, for one, am *much* more likely to feel obligated to pay the registration on a piece of software I have obtained either free of charge through a BBS or FTP, or at minimal cost through a user group, than on something I have already paid a relatively high fee to purchase from an outfit like PC-SIG. IMHO, if anything, they should be limiting the activities of shareware resellers, not free distributors. Ross -- Ross A.
