- I agree 100%. There are many folks in my organization who would *love* to see a
- Windows-based reader. I evaluate any shareware offerings that I think will make
- our folks more efficient.
- I can guarantee that, if I can't do a **full** evaluation of any product,
- especially Windows ones, I will simply delete it from my system with no further
- interest. I don't do crippleware.

- I hope that the original poster (Martin Calsyn) does not take our comments as
- flames, but as the truly constructive critism that it is intended to be. :-)
