Here at Lotus, most of the users of shareware send in a check from their own pockets. Shareware is often the source of very high-quality products (and very enjoyable ones too, such as HACK) If someone uses the disk on a regular basis w/o paying, they are only cheating themselves, as updates/upgrades/new products will not be forthcoming from authors who have to reenter the job mill to survive. -- Opinions expressed are public domain, and do not belong to Lotus Development Corp. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Simcha-Yitzchak Lerner {genrad|ihnp4|ima}!wjh12!talcott!sesame!slerner {cbosgd|harvard}!talcott!sesame!slerner slerner%sesame@harvard.ARPA
