-
- We are releasing TASKS and DRIVES into Shareware at the same time.
- We are asking for One Dollar for each of these programs. We are
- considering this a type of Vote. If we receive $200 nationwide we
- will consider it a YES vote to Windows utilities. If we don't
- receive $200 nationwide for these two programs we will consider it
- a NO vote to Windows Utilities If we can't get 200 people to send
- in $1 across the whole country then we will consider the interest
- to be too low to justify writing any more programs.
-
- If the vote is YES we will attempt to release 10 utilities for
- Windows 3.0 over the next year. We will ask for One Dollar apiece
- for these utilities or $10 for all of them. These will include
