You don't have to pay anything to use it. - But remember the following: The author is a 'poor' student and gets no revenues of his software. He wants to study in the United States which - as you might know - is rather expensive. So he'd really like to get some kind of assistance from users who really like the software and want it to be completed. Please send donations (all over 1$ is will be taken with pleasure) to the address below. Checks and cash money are welcome. Mail ulfw@hotmail.com if you'd like to help (or send money) on another way.
