Of course nowadays that email doesnt work. And katz.anu.edu.au doesnt work anymore. And Ive lost the source code for this bit of software...

Must add that I received about 3 cheques from 'adoring fans' for this 'shareware'; 2 from US and one from Germany. It cost more to process the cheques than what it was worth, so at the end of the day, I still didn't get money from it.
