Thorsten said the version on the site is broken. People did pay money for CST,
it was not given to me. I just don't see the big deal is in putting a patch that
is free on the site, and removing what Thorsten calls a broken version. But if
CST customers can just go to hell, and they do not care about their custormers
then people should take notice of that. And not buy their program anymore. If
you want to see how to share a program go to Bob's site and download crafty. He
cares about his program and the people that use it. And he does not charge any
money for what Thorsten calls sharing.
