Tell me something I didn't know. Instead of simply removing the
freeware version from his site, so that any 3.party page linking to
the old freeware download on his site - will simply produce a 404 if
for the download, the author has instead created the above mentioned
dummy file - with the above mentioned "dummy" text. Let me put it this
way, he released a freeware app that many sites still promotes as
freeware and provide a download link for. Instead of simply removing
the app from his site, he provides the above mentioned dummy download.
Not nice. Not nice at all! Oh well, I'll just file his name under
"never buy anything from this guy". Have deleted his app from my
system now, don't trust anyone behaving like this. Oh well, life goes
on.
All the best,
