Send them a blank tape, they send you a tape with their complete filter product and the full manual. The demo filter does everything the full version does - except that the converted text is full of spelling errors due to an encryption algorithm. You can fully examine the product and evaluate its output for as long as you want. When you send Blueberry the purchase price, they send you a password - install the password to disable the encryption, and you are ready to go. -- +==============================+===============================+ | Rob Weinberg | Workstation publications tech | | Email : robertw@informix.com | Graphic designer | | Voice : 415-926-6754 | <imagine your ad here> | +==============================+===============================+
