I see the loads of distro quabble-babble coming up in the future. Bear is gone, 'the cult' (TM) has won and only full featured freeware (TM 'the cult') is discussed in ACF. :-) How many of the freeware (TM 'the cult') will vanish into payware, ....again, and again!? As before... Your freeware investigations are always worth a look and it's not all freeware by payware companies on your site... -- Daniel Mandic
