I have copied many programs that were certainly not in the public domain for an Apple ][, but the majority of these copies are presently sitting on shelves at home collecting dust. I have copied only two programs which I used with any regularity, one was Applewriter and the other Raster Blaster. Once I confirmed that I not only liked the programs and they served my purposes, I bought them. I have suffered through many a purchased program which had to be bought before it could be sufficently tested. In the case of Applewriter, I got a copy, modified it to work and after I was successful with my modification, I bought it. Basically, I like the freeware idea and have applied the concept to software not sold under the freeware concept. Good software should be paid for, but this is an ehtical decision which can't really be well enforced. Bernie Gunther mit-eddie!mck-csc!bmg The opinions expressed above are solely my responsibility.
