 TP> I absolutely agree with you in your case.  When I originally stated
 TP> that shareware = commercial software (and, no, you missed, I am not a
 TP> shareware programmer), I meant real shareware, not crippleware, which
 TP> to me is crap,  not software.  I will not even bother checking it out.

I agree also (except apogee) I detest cripled Software.
 
 TP> That is a totally different story.  However, shareware which i use

I concur some of what I've seen has been quite good.
 
 TP> It's so nice when two people agree...
