In the whole shareware discussion here, no one seems to have made the most obvious reply to the guy whining about paying the PKZIP registration fee: he claimed that you had to have it to use BBSes. Ain't true. BBSes could use public domain compression programs instead. But they don't. Why? PKZIP is better. Nobody's forcing us to use it, we consider it *worth* it. -- Dat be hip... dat be happening... DAT be a psuedoinstruction! Call Burger King at 1-800-YES-1-800 and request a vegetarian entree! Mass/ energy cannot be created or destroyed. It *can*, however, be wasted. INTERNET:boutell@freezer.it.udel.edu SNAIL: P.O.Box 295, Newark, DE 19715
