Has anyone heard of a guy called Robert Brandner? I'd like to contact him. Probably Austrian. He wrote a smallish Editor called PolyEd, which I found on Aminet -- just the sort of thing I've been looking for, quite fast, without too many surplus bells and whistles. So I sent off the registration form and fee (in Dm), some time back in June/July, to his address in Furstenfeld. Nothing happened, and I sort-of forgot about it. Then last week I remembered, and emailed his address rbr@prip.tuwien.ac.at (Vienna University?). The mail "couldn't be delivered". This is not the sort of thing which encourages honesty among shareware users -- in fact, I'm bleedin' pissed off. The program isn't exactly crippled, but is set to self-destruct after ten minutes, so I can only use it for short jobs, and anyway, dammit, I've *paid*. If I thought there was any chance of finding the frig I'd have a go at de-frigging it, but life's too short. So if anyone knows him, or where he is, I'd be glad to know. Doesn't seem much point in mailing the Uni itself, since he's prolly left long since. DaveB
