My, my, thin skinned aren't we. If you throw a stone into a pack of dogs, which
one yelps? I must have hit a nerve there, because I didn't notice your name in my
post. By the way, what about your complaint that there were rude comments about
you up for a month on Delphi,  and no one told you about it? Hmm? How about "get
up off your ass and go get it?" Bev-with-nothing-else-to-do. Why send an email to
the sysop when you could have sent one to Howard and settled the matter?

Not all authors still have all versions of their old software, or the source code.
Howard has asked in Delphi's A2 on a number of occasions since I've been around
for later versions of software that he's been looking for. Recently he was looking
for something from the Beagle Bros. and I happened to have a copy. It wasn't
recent enough, but he was nice and thanked me for offering to help.

Strange, I didn't notice one single question in your post. Just bickering. And
vulgar speech.

What's the matter Bev, can't you simply sent the man an email, pointing out that
he doesn't have the latest version, and be a decent human being and offer to help,
if it matters that much to you? No, all you can do is carp and complain, try to
tear down someone who is trying to help, without any compensation for his time or
effort.
