Is it me, or does it take a LOOOOOOONG time to get a registered copy of JRComm? I sent in the full amount for printed docs and disks about 42 days ago (about) and I haven't heard word one about it. I'm getting VERY tired of seeing that irritating, red, PLEASE-REGISTER-SCREEN. If the Author is reading this, and I know you read this group, have you received my check?

Either that or I'll have to phone him or his BBS and find out what the devil's taking so long. Jack, if you're reading this, I can understand production delays. I write software for a living, BELIEVE me I understand production delays! But it would help a heckuvalot if you could drop a postcard to all those who are waiting saying something to the effect of, "I'm really backed up, the new version is almost debugged, don't worry I haven't forgetten." -- ---------------------------------------------------+--------------------------- All power corrupts, but we need electricity. | Steven King | Motorola Cellular (D.

If you ARE registered, you can call Jack's BBS and download the registered version no problem. I think he's made this clear in the unregistered help screen. He's just finished 1.02 as of April 2, and he is sending copies to everyone immediately. I think we'll all appreciate the time Jack put into 1.02. >All power corrupts, but we need electricity. | Steven King Dave Hopper | /// Anthro Creep | Academic Info Resources, Stanford |__ /// . . | Macincrap/UNIX Consultant bard@jessica. |\\\/// Ia!

If I flame, you'll know it! :-) Even if I am registered I have no intention of downloading the release from his BBS. Long distance charges at 2400 baud are NOT our friends! >I think we'll all appreciate the time Jack put into 1.02. Agreed. But we'd all appreciate it more if we knew for a fact that he was working on it and not just taking all our hard earned money and running, n'est-ce pas? My situation was this: I've sent a man I don't know thirty (or whatever the fee is) dollars. Since that time I haven't seen the product, any announcement that the product would be delayed, or signs of the man active on the nets. Wouldn't *you* start to wondering? As it turns out, the very day I posted my message Jack responded to the email I sent him. I don't think he'll mind me spreading the word. (At least I *hope* he won't mind, 'cause I'm about to do it!)

I just received v1.02 today (evaluation version only) through the FidoNet Amiga Distribution System (ADS), so it is out there again, and it looks like it is going to be better than ever. Knowing Jack, yours is probably in the mail right now, waiting to be sorted. :) =============================================================== Daryl Turner Internet: umturne4@ccu.umanitoba.ca Urrrrrggghhhh!, What a RRRRRUSH! -Road Warrior Hawk, The Legion of Doom

I sent in my registration fee in January, I got access to download the registered version 3 or 4 weeks later (don't remember exactly), and I told Jack I'd wait for V1.02 as the one to be shipped to me. The disk with V1.02 just arrived last week. -- Dave Schaumann | dave@cs.arizona.edu | Short .sig's rule!
