The ConMan address is in the little "advertisement" window which appears on
startup. You know, the one that say "Time to say goodnight, CON:…"
I've only payed for one or two shareware packages, and UEdit is one of
them. For me it's a combination of factors. The program has to be more
than a minimal hack, it has to be (for me) worth the price asked, and the
author has to have the right attitude. If your program is worth, IMHO, $10
and you ask $50, you won't get nuthin' from me; if your attitude is "you
must pay me for this or rot in h*ll, because I'm an honest struggling
author and you are a thief", forget it.
Rick produced a good product, he asked a fair price, and he struck me as a
reasonable man… so I sent him a check. Laziness probably delayed the
payment a few weeks, but it'd not stop it. I think if you're too stingy to
make the payment, laziness is a good excuse… but if you really intend to
pay up, you will get to it eventually, lazy or not.
