The whole idea of shareware is based on the idea that you try out the
software in order to "test it out".  I have no reason to believe that if
I _do_ register for the package, that I will get a) a better package in
this situation, or b) better support from WinQVT.  Authors should be
humble and professional enough to take suggestions and criticisms from
any source.   If they do, I'll be the happy to register, because they will
a) have a better package and b) show me that they care about what my needs
are.
