I, too, used to be a true believer in Realia's SpaceMaker until I ran into
a bug which they admitted to and told me had been fixed in their current
release.  When I asked what it would cost me to upgrade to the current
release, they told me they didn't bother with upgrades to "inexpensive"
($75) products like SpaceMaker and I would just have to buy another full-
priced copy.

You know, between EXE2BIN and EXEPACK, I haven't missed those turkeys
a bit!  Someday maybe they will realize that if they piss off their $75-
product customers, those customers will never buy their >$75 products
(as I have made it a point never to do since)!
