According to the various reports from MacWorld, Ann Arbor
software was happily giving away DEMO versions of their ALMOST
FullWrite Professional software to anyone who wanted one (rumored
to be about 10,000 copies). This is supposed to be a fully
functional program in its current (ALMOST ready) state without
the spelling checker or thesaurus, which prints DEMO on each page
of output.
For those of us who are waiting for our orders to be filled (not
the subset who ordered directly from Ann Arbor and have already
received a beta version), is it possible (and legal, of course)
for someone who DID get the demo version to post it to the net?
Given that this is explicitly a DEMO, and was freely given away
at MacWorld, I don't see an issue, and it should certainly be a
good use of the net, given the high interest.
I know that I'd LOVE to see this as soon as possible, and suspect
that the same is true for the many others who are salivating from
the various reviews.
Can someone oblige?
