Well, what did you expect?  What with qmodem, procomm, and pibterm, you've
got some excellent competition.  You, like the other person who was
disappointed by the lack of "sales" of their terminal emulator (no matter how
nifty), were targetting a oversaturated market.  How about writing a program
that no-one has even thought about writing?

Shareware is just another marketing scheme, not a miracle worker.
