I've been enthusiastically recommending the wysiwyg html editor PageBreeze
to this ng, since I discovered it via Freeware World Team a couple of months
ago. However, today I opened it and was confronted with a nag / advert
screen that takes up about a quarter of the program's real estate. To get
rid of it, you are instructed to "click here to get rids of these ads."
Clicking takes you to the home pages of the "sponsors" of these ads,
including the homepage for PageBreeze Pro. Returning to the program reveals
that the nag screen does not go away, despite the instructions.
According the PageBreeze website:
"PageBreeze is completely free for personal, not-for-profit, or educational
use. There are no limitations, no nag screens, no required registration, and
the software will never expire . If you use PageBreeze in your job, or in a
for-profit business for non-evaluation purposes, you must obtain an
inexpensive license for PageBreeze Professional , which includes several
more advanced features."
Digging into the program's help file though there is no mention of "no nag
screens."
"PageBreeze is completely free for personal, not-for-profit, or educational
use. There are no limitations, and the software will never expire."
On that basis, I retract my earlier recommedations for this program. I have
sent an email to the author requesting clarification / explanation. I'll
update this ng if I hear back from them.
