I only recently downloaded it.  The program and docs are about 320k, so 
downloading it from compuserve would be costly.  The program is shareware,
registration fee is (I recently read a posting from Keith Peterson which
I believe said people shouldn't mention prices on the net) expensive,
but you'll get printed documentation (the text file is 8000 lines long).
Documentation says that you will easily recoup the registration fee in
more productive time on compuserve.

I haven't tried it yet, because I haven't printed the docs, but according
to my compuserve magazine, its about the best reader.

Call me a communist, but it would kill me to see you spend a lot of 
money (like I did) downloading it from compuserve.  Contact me and I
will get it to you somehow (email, upload to simtel, diskettes ...)

I'm going to look through previous news messages to try to find out
how to upload it to simtel (I know its been posted - I just don't 
know where I put it).

I sent this message to news rather than email because I wanted to
save people money.  If people will be a little patient, I will 
eventually get this program uploaded to simtel.  I will not be able
to email this program to everyone who wants it.

thank you
