Help please re: Xenu's Link Sleuth

[Susan Bugher]

Say it ain't so, Joe.

I'm a fairly new user of Xenu. My version (1.2d) showed an ad with the
report. Could someone download the newest version (v 1.2e) - check it
out - and post *their* findings please.

I have downloaded the newer version - am in the midst of gathering PL
update info. Will also try the new version as soon as possible.

The ads in Xenu mostly concern a private crusade of the author
against the Scientology Church. On his site you can find a link
to an other site about this. Sometimes an ad of M$ shows up on
his report. I hope that this doesn't mean that this program will
be called "adware" and removed from the Pricelessware List.

With kind regards,

So far I have only seen a banner for "Blue ribbon campaign" version 1.2e.
Also sometimes there is no Ad??

Seriously it's so minor that I didn't notice it until this thread drew my
attention to it. To toss it out of Pricelessware seems a bit harsh, this is
where I think some flexibility is a good idea.


PS With any hope this doesn't start off another meta thread on "what is
freeware" as Dialog did.

I looked closer it's a joke. It comes from http://parody.organique.com/ ,
the MS$ ad says, "Is it going to work today?"

Can't see the author earning $$ from running these banners.

Hi Henk and Aaron,

I was afraid this was something new and awful. Thank you for the
explanation.

I *really* didn't want to learn that Xenu had gone over to the *dark
side*. If anyone has objections they can raise them. *I* feel much
reassured.
