I think fixing things on a as time permits is fine. I really appreciate your work on it.

In my last job as a contractor, I found MXI to be an invaluable tool. They didn't allow any shareware tools in a production environment, which I didn't like, but to use a tool such as MXI for just the sysprogs was fine. I installed the 4.3 version. Being a contractor, I found MXI the place I went to whenever I needed to find something out. I could find it elsewhere in parmlib or whatever, but it was usually faster to find it in MXI.

Mark,

I did not say that MXI 4.3 users would be stranded if something breaks - it is just that I *really* do not have the resources and time to guarantee to fix any problems that may occur. In the "old" days I was a sysprog and would come home at 6pm and worked on MXI in the evening - these days my working day starts at about 9am and finishes about midnight.....

MXI 4.3 has always been available primarily on my own web-site (and now on Rocket's) - the fact that it is on the CBT site is because I was asked if I would like to contibute to it.

Freeware is software that is free - I do not see an implication of supplied source.
