	I don't wish to add to the current flame ware on the
relative use of Crippleware or Demmoware.  However, I ask the
authors of this software to please consider what form the
documentation is processed in.  The current version of MacPassword
came with the main documentation using a font size I don't have,
making it very hard to read. Several other documents (including the
order form) were created by an application whos files I haven't
figured out how to read at all.

	If at all possible send out any files in either MacWrite or
MacPaint format.  Use only fonts supplied with the system or at
least restrict your documents to shareware fonts.  And please,
please, specify which applications, font types, and sizes are
required to read your documentation.

	As to the current controversy on posting demonstration or
crippled software on usenet, I support the comp.bianries.mac.demo
camp. I don't mind this software being posted and probably would
have tried to use MacPassword had I been able to read the
accompanying documentation.  However, I hope that there isn't other
software waiting in queue.  I don't believe that the moderator for
comp.binaries.mac has been heard from.  What is the current policy?
