No, you're not a twit.  The original statement *was* that Demon were
going to take the money for it (this was back in the days when the KA9Q
software was the only software Demon supplied), and we've been waiting
almost 4 years for them to do it.  I haven't seen any announcement by
Demon that this has changed, the first I knew of it was the messages
here from a user who had found it in some obscure (to us oldies at
least) document.

Now, I admit that I hadn't bothered chasing them either (I think the
last time I posted a comment on the subject was a year or so ago), but
an announcement would have been a good idea, and certainly one on
dis.pc.  I don't know where Demon's 10% figure came from, they certainly
haven't asked me what I'm using (but no-one ever does include me or
anyone I know in opinion polls either).

Incidentally, what's the state of WinDis?  I thought that was based on
KA9Q originally (as is TextWin), so it's possible he's owed royalties
from that as well.  Or Maybe Not...
