I registered qmodem 5.0 with no problem. I think you should double
check that statement. Also the last release was actually 5.01
but this was a patched release. I still have the patch if you want
a copy. Fixes a few source bugs I think, Didn't notice a huge change
myself.
Also takes olx to 2.2, uses ALOT less memory :)
  Question... Does the new olx in qmodem pro or winolx support
internet address books? olx 2.2 doesn't seem to want to go past 15
characters for an address.

assistant: All the *TD* releases can be 'registered' with your registration code
that you got from Forbin.  To my mind, that makes them 'registerable'.

Write your reply.

assistant: QModem 5.0 came 'pre-registered', in other words it did not require
hat
you register it with the registration code that you received from Forbin. You
did have to do this with versions prior to 5.x, including the current TD
versions available if you wanted a 'registered' copy.
      I did, see above.  Remember that version 5.x was *never* available as a
shareware product, but pure commercial, regardless what some pirates would
like you to believe.
      Yes, I would appreciate a copy.  Feel free to f'attach it to 1:140/12
t
your convenience.  Or uuencode it to me via netmail, but NOT here in this
echo.
      Sorry, I've never used OLX, so can't help you there.  Maybe someone
