Re: (PGP vs. (PEM vs. PEM-MIME)) vs. WEB

Actually come to think about it, ever since January this year, any
time I reported a core dump in TIS/PEM Version 6.1, I was told that
that feature will be removed from TIS and I was asked to wait for
TIS/PEM Version 7.0.  In other words, I lived without support for one
whole year even before TIS/PEM Version 7.0 come out.

Please understand that I am not criticizing Mark and Jim who have
always been very helpful in general answering the questions and help
requests sent to tispem-users(_at_)tis(_dot_)com(_dot_)  They have done better 
than
anyone could expect.

I am simply backing the fact that there can be free software out there
that gets no support.

  To directly answer the question of making Version 6.1 available,
  unfortunately making it generally available is tantamount to supporting
  it, which we can not realistically do.  We could, however, provide it on
  a case by case basis to those who just have to have it (with no support,
  of course).

I'm sorry, but I have trouble beliving that.  It's quite easy to make
something available on a "completely unsupported, use at your own risk"
basis.  People and companies do it all the time.....
