Hi John,


As for myself - at the age of 74, I feel I have some more years

on the clock.. I will make a NEW REG file for anyone that requests

it of me!!

That's not enough. What happens if Neal (or Joe, now that he has the key
maker) changes his mind, or dies?

Neal should
1. Produce a version that doesn't require registration and release it, and
2. Make DXbase open source. That is, put the source code on GitHub so that
other developers may do the work of improving it and updating it.

73,
John W1JA

Steve,

Neal already posted the following:

I will be happy to send a registration file to anyone who wants one for free
as well as resend one if I have it on file.

ALSO - Neal gave me the DXbase2007 reg key MAKER program - so that I could
help people
directly without me having to ask Neal for ghe reg key -- so, I WILL be able
to provide a new reg key for DXbase2007 upon request to me..
