I'd like to know how successful the shareware system is.  Are users paying the
nominal fee for useful software?  It seems that the fees are so insignificant
compared to the cost of users' computer systems (and commercial software) that
most people would cooperate.  Realistically, there are some people that take
advantage of honor systems.  The results should be very interesting if enough
people respond.  Please mail responses to me - I will summarize to the net!

Please use a separate block for each title.  Users' responses will remain
confidential!  Authors' responses will be treated confidentially if requested.
