I agree with your stand on people trying to get freebees, 100%! I'm just starting up an online store and I have no problem paying dealer price for the software. Your policy is absolutely right and the best way to protect yourself from losing profits. The only time I would ask for freebees, would be if they were either crippled demos or program sample results. Some of the larger companies provide crippled software for the dealers to display, and sometimes supply demos that are allowed to be uploaded to BBS's and other systems for user perusal. Shareware, I think, should also have functions like "SAVE" crippled, so that users would be able to try out all of the functions, but would be obligated to support the author to get the uncrippled version. **** Vance ****
