(TXT file xfer only) So, the answer is: DCOM 4.0/ProDOS. RSN. Real soon now. (Where have we heard that before!) *FLAME ON* DCOM 3.3 (vt100 emulator) is currently shareware. Based on the testimony of my spies across the country, unregistered users of DCOM outnumber legal users by about 9 to 1, possibly even more. Even worse, I've received letters from parts of the world explaining how my SHAREWARE MESSAGE WAS DELETED FROM THE COPY THEY RECEIVED. Well folks: What goes around comes around. DCOM 4.0/ProDOS _WILL NOT BE SHAREWARE_ Anyone currently on my mailing list (via donation, phone call, or USPS letter) as of this morning (9/17/87) will receive V4.0/ProDOS for a mere $5. Unregistered users will pay, upfront, $50. Try it for 15 days, if it doesn't work, return the disk and manual and get your money back. After the 15 days, well, it's yours forever. Shareware is just right for small demos or games, but DCOM is TWO DISKETTES of my blood and sweat. I researched, designed, coded, and debugged all 250K of DCOM's source/object code and don't enjoy being ripped off. *FLAME OFF* To the honest folks in the crowd: Thank you.
