Hi Boris, due to some problems with traffic, I only downloaded
two of the three .shk files (I'll download the third later).  Nice
job!  I'd like to see more of these stacks.

I'm interested in nature myself.  I'll evaluate the software for
a while and if it becomes a permanent fixture on my hard drive,
I'll send in the shareware fee...in Susan B Dollars.  ;-)

The story of your struggles against people who don't
understand what you were trying to do was really moving.
Like your orchids and the Apple II, the Susan B Dollar
was misunderstood and rejected even though it was a fine
coin.  It is the same size as Canada's Loony (sp?) Dollar.
I've collected a quantity of these US coins and will send
some in as the shareware fee if I end up keeping the stack.
Somehow, it seems fitting.

Good luck!
