if you are going to offer free tial software or free software, you should

make it available at no charge. I want to evaluate the software and make my

decisions based on whether it will work for me. why should i have to pay for

something i may not even like? I have purchased Windows 3.11 and again all

the way up to and including Windows XP Pro, including Office 2003 small

business (under the impression that frontpage was a part of it) and now wish

to evaluate frontpage 2003, but in order to do so, it will cost me approx

$8.00 US. I would rather use anything else. Very disappointed.

If you are fairly proficient at web design or do a lot of "web work" the $8.00 will be the best

money you ever spend.

I understand how you feel. I don't know if i will be of

much help, but i can say i own frontpage2003, and i am a

webmaster. frontpage2003 is one of the best web building

tools i have ever used. I can make changes to my sites in

seconds. But yes it should be free to try as you said.

A whole 8 bucks! Gee whiz!



The problem is you cheapskates always want something for free. Then you

pass it around to all your friends. Then you have the nerve to badmouth it

to boot.



Do you even know how much it costs to develop a program such as FP?



Try some programming and test your skills.

Simplest program is a .BAT file. Try it.
