	Very few software authors really provide any support of thier
programs. This can be seen in many advertisements and instruction 
packages that display the - sold as is - disclaimers. The Majority
of programs put out are collections of a set technic. Granted,
there is a talent involved, but the wages asked for are in my 
opinion, very out of line. It takes more talent to write a novel
of any value. And a novelist has no garentees of success either.

p.s. fortunately there are some excellent software available
      from good honest hardworking programmers.
