Haven't you ever heard of shareware, or are you pulling our collective leg. :-) Seriously, all users of our (and other ftp archives) should bear in mind, that even if we can download stuff free from the sites, this does not mean that everything is freeware (much isn't). Recall what eg our site's instructions state: "Please duly observe shareware rules wherever indicated". P.S. Please, let's not enter into a discussion of shareware etc morality. It has already been discussed ad nauseum in some other groups. I just wanted to remind us all of this facet of things. ...................................................................
