Eeek! That's a hell of a lot of money!!!!

But it wouldn't have to be online authorisation. It would be fine if you could
send your credit card number by post or 'phone or FAX. Do they charge equally
rediculous sums for that?

What about someone like Walnut Creek as a distributor? Or Prime Time Freeware?
