- I just ftp'ed DUMPV12.ZOO dated 91-12-16 from ftp.cica.indiana.edu.
- I unpacked and installed it.
- I called it: a big "-ShareWare Notice-"-box appeared; I had to agree or
- disagree (default!).
- I agreed -- but this damned programme disagreed:
- +------------------------------------------------------------------+
- | This program expired on 30th June 1992. Please obtain a newer |
- | version if you wish to continue to evaluate this program. If you |
- | have only just obtained this copy please ask your distributer to |
- | obtain the latest version from Oxford Computer Journals Ltd. If |
- | you have been "Evaluating" this software for some time now |
- | then please consider your motives! |
- | +----------+ |
- | | OK | |
- | +----------+ |
- +------------------------------------------------------------------+
- No, nothing is OK. I asked my distributer :-) and he told me that nobody will
- pay me for the costs & work I have up to now.
-
- My evaluation period for this program is expired: this program does not
- solve any of my problems; it adds only new problems.
