Tom,

I've expressed my opinion of what Tom did directly to Tom and I'll not
repeat it here.  What I want to say is this.  Even though I have no use
for X or X products at the moment, I really appreciate your work.  And
the work of all PD software writers for that matter.  I'm sure I echo
the feeling of most people on this group.  Please don't let this issue
taint you regarding public domain software.  I think you'll find that 
the rewards of writing public domain software will greatly outstrip the
few bucks you might make by keeping it secret.  Just redirect the
letters from the dicks to the bit bucket and carry on.

John
