erm. . . re the free *now* part. . . This app has been freeware and/or
expire/renewable ware. Is that why you say there's now a free version
AND also say you've used the free verion for a year?

About the freeware version:

So do others in ACF. :) It was nominated for the 2005PL.
http://www.pricelesswarehome.org/2005/2005PL-Nominations.php

dunno why/when they changed the name of the company, but it's the same app.

A little more info. . . $ware version is 2.1.0.576, free version is
2.0.8.574 - both versions released on 28 June 2006. I note they say:

"IMPORTANT NOTE for Windows 9x users: Windows 9x is not supported in
2.1+. The functionality of 2.1 would be too hard to implement for
Windows 9x and we can not afford that given the Windows 9x market
perspectives. However SSM 2 freeware will continue to support Windows 9x
as much as possible."

whatever that means. . . arghhhhhhhhhh. . . ;)
