Then why the hell take up 300k of my disk space and modem time by posting it? 8-) Seriously, I have used c.b.i.p as a quality software resource for the last two years. It is an excellent way for shareware authors to get their software out into the real world. However, if a program exhibits the sort of faults you describe, surely it would be better to email a "reject slip" to the author so they could fix it and resubmit a better version, than post it as is?
