Hi again,

Just a quick question. Following my purchase last week (see below), should I have received an email with a link to the appropriate purchased downloads? Id quite like to make my version now “official”.

Best wishes all for the new year.

Regards
Alan

Hi,

My apologies... I totally understand.

I have now (last night) purchased HERCGUI and AWSPRINT, so I am at least “official”. I’ll download the “latest and greatest” versions!

Thanks again

Best wishes
Alan

P.S. it made me smile from ear to ear when I logged in to TSO the first time! Its a slightly early Christmas present to myself!

That's fine. The reason I asked was because you should ONLY be obtaining my SoftDevLabs products (HercGUI, HercPrt, CTCI-WIN and AWSBrowse (as well as my various freebies)) from my Software Development Laboratories web site AND NO WHERE ELSE.

All of my products are copyrighted so if there is any other web site that you are downloading them from that is a gross violation of copyright. Only *I* (and NO ONE ELSE) am allowed to distribute copies of my software. That is what "copyright" is all about! Only *I* am allowed to distribute copies of *my* software, not anyone else. You should only be able to obtain MY software from *ME* and no one else. You should *only* download MY software from MY web site.

The version that your friend downloaded to his laptop (now YOUR laptop) might not be current. You might want to check to make sure you have the latest and greatest version:

http://www.softdevlabs.com

If you had obtained HercGUI from my website you would already know how to purchase a non-trial copy and how much it costs. The fact that you had to ask tells me that you did NOT obtain your copy of HercGUI from my web site which is why I was concerned and had to ask.

Anyway... Welcome to the wonderful world of Hercules, Alan!

Enjoy your personal mainframe! :)
