	When Medley v2.1 was reclassified as FREEWARE, I too, had some 
doubts then. I managed to email the person in charge and the truth came 
out. I then posted the email replied back to me (it's still in my disks 
somewhere) by Milliken on their stand, and affirmed that it it was true, 
except for the Spell Checker and Thresaures (oops ! Never spelt that 
correctly ever !).

	In any case, I applaude Charles Turley for his efforts in trying 
to get the owners to reclassify the softwares. But I should stand that, if 
any other reclassications do happen, somone ought to check it out a post a 
similar email from someone from the organisation (preferable with Name and 
Postion) for clarification.

	Keep up the work !
