Since Encore Pro 1.8 is no longer available...

Hmphf! I am not above using "pirated" software. My first version of WordPerfect was "pirated" (v.3 if I remember correctly). I liked it so much I bought WP 5.1. There have been several other software programs I've started using as "pirated" copies and liked them so well I purchased a newer version later on.

On the other hand, I resent paying top dollar to purchase something that in six months isn't even worth half of what I paid for it because newer, "better", etc. has been produced as is so common w/computers. Nor have I appreciated the newer and newer versions of the MicroSoft Windows, etc. I only a few months ago updated from Win 95 to XP? XT?, whatever, only because two of my favorite websites would no longer work well w/Win95. The only reason I paid for Win XP was because I decided to do some other upgrades on my 'puter as well.

I've used a few "free ware" that I really liked and appreciated and sent a few bucks to the developer or purchased an upgraded copy. And there is little that torques my jaws more than the "medical profession" trying to prevent me from access to my full medical information.

Careful ... some are taken away in the dark of night for "thought" crimes of lesser degree.

Sammy
when you use "encore pro 1.8i" for searching - you will get 3, 2 completed, 1 still on

Those darn quotes. Not much except one right now on ebay.

That's really too bad. I don't need the software but it's really a shame that it's not readily available.

And it really hurts, when the Sleep Police, shackle you in the public square, and beat your bare feet with a ruler. It makes what they do to the prisoners in Cuba look good. Jim

Owieee, GoofProof! I'll take the warning to heart.
