Lines: 14 I agree, stop knocking PD and shareware stuff. Heck, if it doesn't work, I just don't use it and its easy to get my money back if I haven't paid for it :-) What burns me is software from commercial sources such as Claris, that doesn't function properly. The spell checker and thesaurus in Multiscribe GS version 3.01 STILL don't work right under GS/OS. Any attempt to add a word to the user dictionary corrupts the dictionary. These are the real culprits, these people are paid to take the time to do it right. They are supposed to be professionals. Stop bashing hobbyists. Lets put some pressure where it belongs, on the commercial software vendors that are continuing to sell and not support incompatible software!
