Well, I'll reconsider it after the updated version of the zip file is posted. It's academic until then, anyway. (For others: Marco & I are having an off-list conversation with the CIO of the company that released BGFAX. The free zip that was posted was an incremental update to the registration-required program. I've removed the mirrored file on ibiblio until I can get a new, full zip file with a readme file that says it is free software.) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Freedos-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-devel
