Hi Mark,

    Addendum about "LSPPPDlr 2003" of December 13 and 15:

ML> ...30 day trial period...  ...COMMO.ID file...  How bad does it get
ML> if it is not registered?  Have mr. Brucker's people released a free
ML> key and/or are they continuing on with {COMMO}'s development?
MS> ...no such lock in v7.7!  ...my understanding was that the author
MS> got a thought for the blind...  ...right in time for ChristMass...
MS> ...i tried to read the YahooGroups mail-list yesterday...  I might
MS> try later and give you at least a name but it will have to wait...

    I finally found how i was supposed to get the posts, here they are:

    The YahooGroups interface is less than convivial, especially if one
considers that DOS people are trying to post in there, euh...  Mr. Larry
Gilman, the nephew, probably isn't into LEGACY hobbies so the posts must
have been done in a ~GUI~ environment but i can see why he had to retry,
nonetheless.  Apparently, he didn't manage to get a part of his "Thanks"
message published or perhaps he just replied the same thing everytime he
wrote back and this part slipped away, unnoticed...  I wonder what "Non-
Text Portions" i missed exactly!  8^o  Well, over a year passed since we
got the bad news and this situation hasn't evolved.  Anyway, it might be
innacurate to state that no relative of mister Brucker "cared" about his
work (well, there _was_ mention of his business and affairs, after all).

    Maybe the status changes after a delay, relatively to the status of
SoftWare surviving its author?  No `{Commo}' or `{C}TE' specific comment
was made on the official site so feel free to draw your own conclusions.

                                   Salutations,  :^)
