Perhaps"demos" and "crippleware" could be given a lower > priority in the queue than pd and/or other useful software. I must concur. Not only is the use of the net supposed to be "verboten" for commercial use (granted the demo is free, but the idea is to get you to BUY the real thing), but it just isn't in what I would consider the "Mac spirit" to expect people to pay thru the nose for every byte of nifty software out there. Don't get me wrong -- there certainly is a market for commercial software, and those people that put months of time into a software product (when they could have made money doing something else) deserve some remuneration for their efforts. But to use the net for free advertising is not right, nor is deferring "freeware" or "shareware" for this purpose. M. A. Pasek Switching Software Development NCR Comten, Inc.
