Not up there with MS yet but that's still a nice following. I hope they are all paid Users.

THANKS!!!!!

It's IA bots Randy, they don't pay a cent to steal all your nice contributions.

I make nice contributions? (Coming from Fred) I'm flattered.
I guess that would account for me not being banned for being a PITA.

I think Fred is telling us that our contributions (not only you if you have contributed in the past) are being stolen without us being able to get paid. He's speaking generally because our forum is public, and don't worry, I don't think you'll be banned, or at least not much.

It is pity the number of viewers here if not there will be a boost for Fred financially, I think to help him is to donate him but Fred needs to update in his website a donate button, i am sure many us will be ready to help him so it is up to Fred if he is agreed.

I already suggested this, but... No effect from Fred.

Note that I go there now because I met a message << Source too big etc... >> on version 6.00.

If I retrieve this message again, I will consider it is a bug, post a new coding question subject titled << Source too big etc... >> and post my 599-lines source code within.

This e-mail based subscription is a problem. I suggest Fred to consider we can keep a 1024-characters key, without personal datas I am fed up to give to everywhere. And this << donate >> button is a very good idea, instead of ads, cookies, etc...

There are several ways to donate, depending of root countries. Waiting a change to ease, I will try to integrate the sound in my 599-lines demo, hoping the time is there...

People could do like I did and just pay for another license. (No donate button required.)

Sounds like you're running in trial mode, maybe.

Even sure... Personnal space cannot allow the client to change the password. Already publicly discussed. However, if I must create something, using a normal version, I think, depending the gain of time resulting of my program, I will talk to Fred about such a good result. I have near the 5.71 and an older version (another one, 5.22 i think). A private dialog, a new version. 2 questions : how to pay, and why the password can't be modified ? No time for Fred to answer. He is not a technician, in a multinational, who will find all the commercial technics to get money, and lie about a false repair of automatic password modifier....
Fred, it is just his compiler, and the trust it can be useful anywhere, early or later...
