I second that idea.  If the GS version catches on (as it probably will, a large
number of files will be uploaded to various services using the new prgm, and
you'd have to had bought the program in order to unshrink the files.  Almost
makes me think there is a bit of a conspiracy brewing there somewhere.....

There's no conspiracy.  Like I said many times: UnShrinkIt and UnShrinkIt/DA
would be freeware.  Anyone could download them for free.  Now that Shrinkit/GS
is free, and UnShrinkIt being delayed, I suppose that's a conspiracy, too?

sheesh...

Conspiracy?  Although I think you had certain rights to sell ShrinkIt/GS, I
applaud your decision to make it available for free.  Even though you had 
to take a lot of cr*p from a lot of users to change your mind about it ;)

Really now, I think your programs are the best I've ever seen on an Apple II
as freeware.  Have you considered suggesting donations to your college fund
if users like your work?  Where do I send my check? :)

If you decide to send me something, you should send it to the my college box 
number included within ShrinkIt's "ABOUT SHRINKIT" box.  It's also the box
at the send of my .sig
