Not free as in 'free to modify' but 'free of cost', though any 5.5MB download which requires a reboot and "will expire on January 1, 2007" isn't welcome on my desktop. YMMV. -- Hil |

Yes, that would be the generally accepted meaning of the word, "free." As used in this example: "give your hard work away 'free' to some insensitive jerk who slams you for doing so." -- Greg Crinklaw Astronomical Software Developer Cloudcroft, New Mexico, USA (33N, 106W, 2700m) SkyTools: http://www.skyhound.com/cs.html Observing: http://www.skyhound.com/sh/skyhound.html Comets: http://www.skyhound.com/sh/comets.html To reply take out your eye |

One wonders that the fool would suppose to have it that length of time without an update. I dare say the author is breathing a sigh of relief that there is one less pecker to moider him for all his hard work. |
