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. Neil Rhodes Palomar Software, Inc. c/o UC San Diego neil@sdcsvax.ucsd.edu
