Don Starr monitors all these discussion groups, and offers help when 
needed, so I'm sure he appreciates these messages of thanks.  But how 
about taking a minute to thank him with a few US dollars, also?  Don 
provided us the Win92, 93, and 95 interface programs at no charge, and 
all the updates, bug fixes, and his most-helpful Web sites.  Back when 
the Pro-93 was state-of-the-art, many of us each sent Don (via PayPal) 
small donations to say "Thank You" in a concrete way.  Typically, Don 
did not solicit the donations, and actually used the influx to purchase 
myriad USB-serial converters to test each with his programs, and then 
made whatever changes were required to expand our choice of converters.

Let me not be obtuse:  Take a minute NOW to send a few dollars, by 
whatever means you choose, to Don at Don @ Starrsoft .com [after 
removing the blanks!] if you use, have used, or ever might use Win92, 
Win93, or Win95.  If you do not have access to any net payment service, 
perhaps a visit to the Win96 site (where the new program is sold, not 
given away) will yield an address or method of expressing your appreciation.

Ans.:  Yes, I did--long ago.
