This is shareware, not PD.  You are expected to
pay for it, and please do.  Quicksoft has made
many significant revisions to the package, and
it is now as good as many more expensive wp
packages.  I would hate to see quicksoft
stop their shareware marketing and up the
price to pay for advertising and marketing
due to people using the product and not paying.
