Much as I enjoy using GIF image viewers, I feel that at least three postings of *shareware* image viewer in as many months (versions 27?, 28? and now 292) is excessive. Does the moderator have shares in the publishers? Why not something much more useful, such as an update to some of V Buerg's utilities? Ian Disclaimer: I own no shares in shareware companies. Second Disclaimer: Vernon, I sent a cheque (check) by email, but it bounced

(I know a set up line when I see one...) But seriously folks, while we're on the subject of Vern's utilities, let me take this opportunity to complain about something weird in QDR. I am using QDR.COM, version 1-28-87 (Yes, I know that's old, but I think its the most current) and I can't get the form: QDR d:label to work. (It formats correctly, but doesn't label the diskette) What's worse is, I swear this used to work (like a year or so ago) but now I can't get it to work on any platform I try it on (network, non-network, 5.25, 3.5, etc) What gives?

VUIMG292 is not the latest version. The latest version of VUIMG was uploaded to SIMTEL20 last week and announced to the net.

Does the moderator have shares in the publishers? And when I don't update them every month or so people complain that there are fixes they don't have. I have been holding several pieces of shareware of my own off the list for a year to avoid having anyone claim I was taking advantage of the group, now this. Along with being hassled by lawyers, insulted by authors when I don't move stuff fast enough, hassled by others because the volume is too high, tying up 150MB of my disk, two hours a day of my time, and about $30/month in phone bills, now I'm accused of taking paybacks. Why should I do this when I can watch CNN?

Dear fellow user. There is nothing wrong with expressing one's
views, preferences and concerns, as you do here.
-Does the moderator have shares in the publishers?
But here you are way out of line. So I'll also deviate from my (I
hope) usually cordial manners, and say outright. What of it. Why
don't you just shut up, and rather concentrate on thinking how you
could benefit the binaries, shareware or otherwise.
