Jerry, the reason is quite simple. In the past I have been bitten many times by reports about my other programs (mainly Spectran) reporting malfunctions, problems, etc. and after some investigations it turned out that the guy was running an old and obsolete version of the program, and the errors reported were already fixed in a more recent release.... So I decided that with Winrad everybody should run the latest version, and the only way to do this is to impose an expiration date to each version. When I will be fairly confident that the majority of bugs will have been eliminated from Winrad, then I will lift that time limit, releasing an expiration-less version. But unfortunately there are still some bugs in Winrad, so for the time being I prefer that everybody is running the latest version, with the exception of those who have Windows 98, and hence are forced to stay with the latest version that runs under Win98. 73 Alberto I2PHD
