I used DigiGuide back in 2000 or 2001. Well, I'm fairly sure that was the
one... and the bloody thing would nag infinitely, increasing nag-prompt
intervals by one second every time you run it, in order to get you to pay. I
have seen similar nagware on other people's Windows boxes, e.g. WinEdt.
Yuck! Reminded me of the old days where freeware meant you had to tolerate
or suffer.
Best wishes,
Roy
