Agreed. I think offering a .b64 decoder as a limited edition is o.k., since
there are alternatives. They may lack some of the features, but they allow
you to decode the archives. Similar to ShrinkIt and Ballon, ShrinkIt is free,
but you have to pay for Balloon (at least until EGO systems bites the dust) :(

It would be far worse if a .sit decoder would be distributed on this way.

Another thing: Is Genie already dead? Does it make sense to usher new
users to Delphi yet? Or should they try to enforce Genie first??
