Hi there… could you please tell the people at Schreiber to indicate that all the IPAS routines they are uploading are actually demo routines which are crippled, and not fully functioning. I'm quite pissed off about this, having wasted a bunch of time and money downloading them, only to find that they're pretty useless, and just a commercial "come-on". thanking you in advance, gary sim

Gary- Each file archive description clearly states that our file uploads are demo's ( demonstration versions ). If you have any questions we are alway happy to answer them at no cost in the 800 telephone number listed in the archive description! Scot <schreiber instruments>

i too found that out , and found my walet lighter to the touch, but i think it is assumed or should be assumed that anything from that company is protected or crippled in some way, i think i have spent more money contacting them for a new unlock code than downloading here. every time i upgrade my systems they(ipas) crash. and no they still have not unlocked there code yet gary.

thanks for the reply. Yes, a few people around here aren't happy with the way they do business. I wouldn't have downloaded if the files were listed as being from Schreiber, but they're shown as being placed here by Nixon, and there are some people who DO upload working IPAS routines that they've written, for the good of the group or to show off their programming, or as teasers to the rest of their utilities…
