Bill your probably correct but I have no data on this site to say if this
software is ok or not?
It seems to stay, stand the test of time so I don't think it's a pirate site?
I wish I knew Polish...it might help me out on discerning the truth!
This link was posted here before and Bruce Moreland moderated those posts
containing the link after another member here, Tina Long complained that this
was basically a "WAREZ" site. However there is no proof that it is.
On the other hand it was removed to be safe so as not to cause legal problems
for ICD!!
So these posts may disappear once again, to remove the link! Actually my
instincts say they are _not_ pirating but I can't confirm this. Until someone
who actually _knows_ one way or the other I expect these posts to be pulled once
again.
If anyone does have info on this site, speaks the language etc. please tells us
before the moderaters decide in best interest of ICD and CCC to pull the link
as they may have no choice without further information.

Thanks!

 Terry McCracken

P.S.
Guys if you must pull these posts, go lightly on us!;) We just want to know
the legitimacy of the of this site. It would be nice to resolve this issue.
