Sorry to add fuel to the fire, but two assertions in this thread
have really gotten me riled.  First off, the comment that a poster
wasn't going to send in any more shareware registrations for "every
little utility" he had, then Mr. Liddle asked 'why pay Phil Katz
for Zip because every BBS user has to have it' [a paraphrase].

The real issue is utility.  A program should be worth something to
you, otherwise you wouldn't bother with it.  If it helps you be
more productive, make money, enjoy computing more, or have a better
sex life - it is your moral obligation to reimburse the source of
that help.  THAT is the principle of shareware, and Phil recognises
it.  You can download PC-Write from the local system and try it out.
IF you find it better than WordPerfect for your needs then you should
pay the fee (a lot less than WP).  If not, then pay WP all their money
and use their product.  If you have no use for "Typing tutor", ignore
it and don't pay.  If you couldn't compute without PKUNZIP, then use
it - but for heaven's sake  pay at least some of the value back to the
author!
