>the registration must be available, and needs to be reached by email. (try >writing Stefan Boberg of LHA, impossible…) There are off course I've sent money to Stefan B. using Internation coupons, he received it (actually he signed the thing), but my copy is still not registred |-( I can't count how many mails I did send him. I've even called Team17 where he works/worked, without being able to reach him… I felt this registration has been a big joke, and I do not thank him for that. Many other shareware authors have been very prompt in handling the registration (Spot was done in 2 days, Winzip on PC was done in 4 hours! etc). It's too bad that lha, which is maybe the most used software after Workbench on the Amiga, has not been given the support it deserved. Now I understand some shareware users can be suspicious about registering 🙁 Why the hell didn't S.B. give the registration process to someone else, even if it would have meant less money for him? I may be registering lzx, which seems to be a little bit more accurate than lha (but still in its early days – read still have some bugs), as I've had very good echoes of registred users… Maybe an organization such as ASP on PCs should be settled for the Amiga? Or is it too late… Fred. Frederic Botton from Paris, France fbotton@cix.compulink.co.uk

I sent off for my reg yesterday via cserve and just received the keyfile in a mail message a few hrs ago. Good response for me.
