I think the idea originates back to where people coded for academic reasons and wanted to improve each others code to be meaner and leaner.. (grass roots thinking) ... but when money comes into play people get greedy... I myself usually purchase Simtel Cd's and the such in case I run across anything I would like to use for a tool... seems though with the rapid changes of OS... these tools become obselete quickly, and because they are free, are rarely supported through more than a few revisions.
mentat, with broadcasting this idea of the v-port-ware do you plan to follow-up with this, or we are going to let this jewel sink into the Sahara?
