My vote too - if it says demo on it I hit the Junk key. I wonder
if Info-Mac archives are a good place to get this stuff and a posting
made to comp.sys.mac detailing items that are available.

Beware though, I cannot get Info-Mac to mail me articles that are > 100k
due to uucp mail restrictions. Can Info-Mac be made to split a mailing
using LISTSERV?

There is also a daily 250k limit on requests served but I'll wait
a day for something I want, especially if it would grease
comp.mac.binaries
