I am a Beta tester for Dimmer, the Mac II screen saver.  Recently, an early 
beta copy was posted to the net.  The documentation I received with my Beta
copy explained that this was Beta, was not to be distributed, and would be
a shareware, or commercial program in the future.

After the posting, I called the author and spoke with him.  He explained that
he did not want it posted, and that all the Beta testers had been given
instructions similar to mine, that is, not to distribute it.  He further
explained that the posted version had already passed its expiration date
(as others on the net have noticed).

For his sake, please do not try and break the expiration protection, and do
not distribute this any further.  If, like me, you can't live without it,
buy it when it becomes available through shareware or commercial channels.
