getting the currency really isn't that big a deal - just a matter of
wandering along to your local bank and buying the relevant currency.
As for support ... well since when has buying _commercial_ software
guaranteed support? I admit it's a bit of a lottery, but most shareware
authors do a very good job on support (take a look at things like UEdit -
Rick Stiles _really_ does a great job).

you WON'T find any distributor carrying IBeM - not legally anyway. It's
strictly a shareware package, if you want a full version you'll need to
send off to the author direct.
