Jerome Fine replies:

Thanks very much. I have a friend who does not bother much with the internet,
but I will pass this address along. Also, based on what Bill Pechter said, could
you also put the sources and documentation there as well? It is good to know
that alternatives do exist.

However, the big question is whether Mentec actually honours the copy of the
LICENSE AGREEMENT that was found. Has anyone that is reading this
post actually had a copy signed by Mentec? If you don't want to put your
license at risk (Mentec can cancel it on 30 days notice), please do not respond!

Sincerely yours,
