Hi!

Just these days I am about to decide what to do with a program I am
writing now. It is supposed to be a super-duper-terminal (although
now it is far beyond of being that :-).
I released a Version 0.9 to the PD. In the poster I told people to
write if they were interested in the Version 1.0. At this time I 
intended to make the 1.0 shareware (say for $20). The results were
NULL. On the other side all people who I know personally, who saw the
program told me not to be so stupid to give it away. "Don't be stupid,
sell it!".
So now, I am about to decide to sell it. The message about the 
postscript-driver was a further hint in this direction. I think Share-
ware is a good concept, but people are not build for it.

Urs, Markus

PS: If anyone likes to test the 0.9 let me hear.
PPS: Could anyone mail me the address of Fred Fish?
