- No, I'm not. Soft-Logik will give you beta versions if you ask for them. Go
- to the Soft-Logik BBS and read the MOTD.

- Why? It's true. When was the last time MicroSloth or Corel gave you a free

- They've got teams working on the program, and a lot of the unimplemented
- stuff is dependant on the same code - and you can't have 2 teams working on
- the same thing. So why not add new features?

- No, It's not. Use the BBS for upgrade info.

- Net access doesn't enter into it. It's the BBS. That's free (less the cost of
- a telephone call)

-
- Who's bragging? I have access to the same thing that _every other registered
- owner_ (with a modem) has - I am by no means special in Soft-Logik's eyes.

- Don't flame if you don't know the facts.
