As an unregistered version, Templeton will only run for 10 minutes. Thus, Templeton is NOT for use in countries that do not permit crippled or time-limited software, such as some European nations. This limited beta will also expire after a few months, forcing you to download a newer version. Also, Templeton will pause for a minimum of 5 seconds before each network transaction. This version of Templeton is not crippled in any way and is fully functional.
When you register, you will receive a special code that removes the expiration date and time limit, and allow you to set the sleep time (delay time before a network transaction) to anything, even as low as zero! And best of all, you will only need to register once. I'm trying to make it so a registered computer will only need to be registered once per machine, regardless of operating system.
Flame on. Finally, there has been a lot of discussion on the 'net about threats toward shareware and commercial software developers. I have put a lot of effort into Templeton and, even before its release, I had received threats to make it available "now" and make it "free" and to "give free copies or else". My response: No Free Copies. No Discounts. No release of the source code. If you don't like this, then don't use my software. Flame off.
Some of the future enhancements to Templeton will include a GUI, a way to turn off remote mapping, multiple operating system support, and other features that people request. Templeton currently runs under AIX, Solaris, SunOS, Linux, HP-UX, IRIX, and other Unix variants as well as OS/2. I am willing to put some effort into a Windows version, but I do not own Windows NT nor Win95, so they may take a while. Also, I still need to make registration work under all those other operating systems, but Linix and Solaris will probably be available before by verion 2.0.
