I tried the ShareWare scheme for PLAY on a whim.  I thought it involved
more effort than a freebie but wasn't robust enough to be a seperate
product PLUS I wanted to get it into a lot of people's hands to
promote Sonix and it's revisions in an indirect way.  I've had almost
a hundred responses between it and PAK which at $10 each...  Anyhoo,
you can see that I haven't quite made a grand with it, but I never
expected to make much anyways.  How it (ShareWare) has paid off is
by giving additional publicity to Sonix and the licensable Sonix
driver routines.  I also enjoy all the comments and suggestions from
these honest people who support ShareWare, and I'm listening if any
of you'se out there have contributed.  All in all, I'm happy I
went the ShareWare route.
