	The Saviour DA is indeed freeware.  It was written by a well-known
programmer as a hack for a friend and was never intended to get out to the
real world (hence no About box, etc.).  Once it did get it, the author choose
to let it go so others could benefit from it, but since the DA did not live up
to his personal standards he didn't bother retracting it for a newer version or
one with an About Box.
	But to answer the questions quickly again - feel free to put it on
your machines and enjoy it.

Disclaimer: I didn't write it, but I obviously know who did.
