- Dear Jim and others developers:
-
- Has your friend considered making his program available
- in the public domain. I personally have tw program offerings
- out and find it a great way to generate sales.
-
- Just upload the files in zip format to all the BBS's and
- internet sites you can. Include a notice that it is user supported
- software and order form etc.
-
- Sure some people will use it without sending any money but
- if the product is valid users will demand the latest
- and may even suggest features to be included.
-
- Think about it no packaging no marketing. This is what
- dreams are made of.
