Yup. A complete and accurate ware description is the *exception*.

Please note: John furnished the right Cnet link. . . The author's
"download link" for the "Freeware" version of STOIK Video Converter
redirects to the Cnet web page that shows the Pro version (it's the same
file).

and it's NOT a *Cnet* problem - other download sites use similar
descriptions. for example:

Program: dBpowerAMP Music Converter (dMC)
Company: Illustrate
http://www.dbpoweramp.com/dmc.htm
"mp3 encoder on 30 day trial license"
(all other features are forever free)

http://www.snapfiles.com/get/dbpoweramp.html
"License Free Trial, $14.00 to buy"

http://www.download.com/dBpowerAmp-Music-Converter/3000-2140_4-10042534.html
"License Free to try; $14.00 to buy"
"Limitations 30-day trial"

Then there are all those apps that are free for personal use - mostly
labeled "Freeware" - occasionally labeled "Shareware" (IMO both
description are correct but incomplete).

I could go on and on. . . ;)
