I know exactly what you mean. Several years ago I found a great little text editor, called Qed. It was cripleware. The "free" version was limited to files smaller than 10K. At the time, I was still in school and quite poor. I used Qed on most files and used other editors for larger files. Annoying, but it worked. Later, when I finances allowed it, I decided to make good on the shareware principle. But my check cam back "adressee unknown". I have tried several times to determine a current address, but to no avail. I still use Qed. Even with the 10k limitation, it suites my needs beter than anything else I have found. ---- "Not many fishes, in the sea.
