Most  of  these  have been written because I needed them and a similar
and/or  working  program  didn't exist.  Many have grown with the time
and  received  advanced features I didn't even think of when I started
the  project.   Some  of  them  only  work in a special environment or
require much memory.  Some others are ugly from the programmer's point
of  view  because  they were started when I was still learning 'C' and
haven't been touched since.  All of them require OS 2.04 or higher.

Most of the programs are also for free.  You needn't pay for them, but
you mustn't sell or modify them.  As I said already, they were created
out  of a personal need.  Don't expect much support - I usually try to
answer  all  personal mail that reaches me, but remember computers are
still a hobby and studying computer science is not all that easy.  And
besides,  it's  for free.  If I run short of time, I will surely still
support FFRS, my only shareware project so far.


Especially if you are working and earn money yourself, I would greatly
appreciate  a  donation  if you regularly use one/some of the Freeware
utilities.   Please  send whatever you find appropriate.  I spent lots
and lots of time on them...


A  word about bug reports:  If you encounter a crash or strange things
happen on your system, don't forget to include

*     Your     system's     configuration     (OS     version,    CPU,
BBS/Mailer/Tosser/Editor/other Software you run)

*  A  detailed  description  of  what  happens.   Set you log level to
somewhere  high  (if possible) and - IMPORTANT - make note of what was
last happened/was displayed before the error occurred.

* If you are skilled with programmer's tools, install the enforcer and
mungwall on your system.

*  Get  SnoopDos  ('snoopdos  -l  -w')  or  Spy  somewhere  (should be
available  at  local  BBSes) and look what files are (un-)successfully
accessed.

*  Send  your  configuration  file  (if  required) along with your bug
report.
