Enough to check out most/all of the options. I also feel obligated to point out the following: When you purchase the program, you receive a personalized copy of the full editor, as well as of the limited version. You are encouraged to pass on the limited version by a "33% commission" of any follow-up sales resulting from your "help". Given that the posted copy has my "serial- number" in it, I would find it improper to post-and-profit, so I have a) insisted that I get no "commission" of any orders b) anyone making an order in result of my posting can take off 33% of the price themselves instead; please refer to me saying so. Regular price is $48 (plus $5 for overseas postage), which I consider more than fair. Which would make "your price" $32, which is outright cheap for what you get. I would consider it only fair, that, should you take the discount, that you tell Daniel (the author) you also want no 33% "commission" of any orders that might result of you distributing your Ltd-copy, but that is, of course, up to you to do. I also try to encourage Daniel to consider making the whole program into ShareWare, but I am not sure if that is a recommendation which would benefit or harm him. You may want to tell him your opinion on the matter. Given that he distributes updates at cost (in my opinion, he does it below his cost, actually; I think his time is worth more than he charges for updates), if FastEddie would become ShareWare , updates could be distributed over this net at great convenience to everyone. Please also note, that the program is so powerful through its extension capabilities, that unless you make some effort to explore this feature, you will hardly be able to fully understand and appreciate the gem that this program really is. It takes some understanding of the C-language to take advantage of this, however, but you can't expect power without some added complexity. In order to allow exploring this complexity I uploaded all the files that I, legally, could - please don't ask me to do more or expect me to have either the time or the knowledge to answer questions. Other than this article, look for 3 files which I will post shortly - binhexed4 and PackIted2.
