I've been trying to register many software from people who wrote
and posted their programs years ago and many of them didn't reply.
Okay, I can understand that. But if someone (like Michael P.)
releases a program and in the same year _refuses_ to reply
registration requests, that's a shame for the shareware-business in
general and for the writer in person! Specially if the program comes
with the request for registration (inc. delay screens and mail
signature).

Are you sure that the absolute addresses end with a backslash (the \ sign) ?
I 'ran around' with the mailboxes across my HDD partititons and never had
any trouble with that.

You're lucky, my mousedrivers won't load w/o a mouse.
