Translator & Creator are now Shareware -------------------------------------- I have decided not to release new versions of Translator (>6.36) and Creator (>1.02) into the public domain. Instead their status will be shareware, and there will be a registration fee of #10. This entitles you to free new versions, when they appear. The reasons for this change of status are as follows : - I have invested an enormous amount of work and time in both programs (continually for over 2 years) - The programs serve an (important) purpose for many people (judging by the amount of (e./snail) mail I receive concerning them - Many (sometimes special) features have been added on request of users - Translator's only 'competitor' (ChangeFSI) costs #22 ex VAT - Creator has no competitors at all, and is nevertheless an important, if not indispensable tool for many people, which enables them to port images to other platforms If you use one or both of these programs, then please register. To register, send #10 (cash only) to : John Kortink Middelhuisstr. 17 7482 EL Haaksbergen The Netherlands To receive the latest versions, send a self-addressed envelope, #1 to cover postage, and a 3.5" formatted floppy disc. (So, to register AND receive the latest versions, please enclose #11 total). I hope you will all register. John Kortink

I still think John should ask himself exactly why he's in the business, but I withdraw the implication that he'd removed a program from the PD only because it was successful and he could get some opportunist money out of it. that would be the case if it had been !translator, but in fact I've never actually met anyone who uses !creator.
