I did a quick look around to see if there was going to be a good way to bypass
that (sort of a natual reaction isn't it?) but there isn't.  If you were a
really good hacker you might be able to edit the exe with a hex editor or
something, but my guess would be that you'd have to consider your time being
_not worth much_ if you unvested it in figuring out how to do it as opposed to
ordering a copy of Fritz 6, which would be much better than a hacked demo
anyhow, and, you'd have company support if you bought the program (a much better
deal, spending the money)
