Yes, I read that post. If I were you in that special case, I by now had TheBat deinstalled, sent them their license mail with a friendly note that they shall put it... well, somewhere, and be off using Firebird, Sylpheed, or something else Open Source. I really mean it. I've always been a supporter of shareware and innovative programs that are marketed directly off the web and all that, and I've registered a lot of programs even though I could live with their nagscreens and limitations, but such a lousy arrogant behaviour really makes me think if its worth it. Just my 0.02 Euro. -- Best regards, Alexander (http://www.neurowerx.de) We can neither put back the clock nor slow down our forward speed, and as we are already flying pilotless, on instrument controls, it is even too late to ask where we are going. -- Igor Stravinsky ________________________________________________ Current version is 2.00 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
