All, Absolutely, if you don't want to see your "hard work" pushed on Joe Blow's bulletin board, along with a pirated copy of "DPAINT", or whatever, then you simply say so in the presentation of your work. I know that I don't want Joe Blow to profit from my hard work…that is NOT what public domain software is all about!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you want anyone to be able to have the software, that's fine too!!!!!! But the choice rests on you! Not on whether or not Joe Blow has the time to "steal" your hard work to make money on! Mike
