I have just been informed that Disk Ranger, which I have distributed as 
freeware, is in fact a commercial program published by Mainstay.

Please help me publicize the existence of this illegal version.  I very much 
want to minimize the number of other people who will be humiliated as I have 
been.

Because of my mistake, the illegal version was archived in the Info-Mac 
directory about a week ago, as UTILITY-DISK-RANGER-21.HQX.  Its "About..." 
dialog box reads:

                 FREEWARE
   This is a disk cataloging/label printing 
   program.  If you like it, please give it to 
   all of your friends!


Disk Ranger is a very fine program, worth every bit of the asking price.  
I hope people will not let the fact that it was associated with this criminal 
act cause them to turn away from it as if it were somehow tainted.  That 
would be yet another injustice to the innocent author and publisher.  My
sincerest apologies to them.  To those who may have propagated my mistake
in the honest belief that Disk Ranger was public-domain, all of the blame
for your actions is mine.
