This has >>been a topic that flares up everytime that a piece of SHAREWARE >>is posted to the group. [...] Given the volume of shareware around the place, I suggest a separate group might be more appropriate: comp.sources.shareware? On the other hand, shareware is usually "freely" available from commercial sources at reasonable prices, so why clutter USENET with it? Of more interest would be user reviews of shareware products, which would include PC-SIG disk numbers, author's address, and asking price for registration of the product. -- Ian Staples | Internet : ianst@qdpii.comp.qdpi.oz.au c/- P.O.
