No, Aask is not freeware or PD. It was a beta version that CE was planning
to release with a new MockPackage in the near future. It got out somehow,
and CE has asked that anyone having it to destroy it, and not pass it on.
I've called CE up at least three times, asking about availability, pleading
to be able to buy it, but each time they say they're real busy on their mail
package and probably won't get around to the MockPackage upgrade until late
in the year, if ever.
Well, Lightspeed C 3.0 just came in (yowsah!), and so I've decided that if I
have to build an Init Manager INIT, I'll build one. I'll let folks know
when it's ready for beta testing...
