>Ok, but it means, what we can't use freeware software, especially if it comes without source code.

Jeez, if you elect to use GH then it simply means that on certain occasions you may have to be just a little bit patient. Nick is clearly entitled to a holiday once in a while.

>Well, for me it would mean, what I have to re-do, what I already did...

Well why don't you then? Then after you have put all that time and effort in to the source, then put it up in the public domain and let everyone hack at it. Or, do what Nick is probably doing - receiving feed-back and then reacting to it by fixing/modifying the source in a controlled fashion. Surely your not telling me that you could fix Nick's code better than he could?

As Gonz said, if your using freeware or trialware or beta code, you have to expect problems now and again with no implicit obligation on the author to fix. If you expect so called "commercial reliability" from freeware (labours of love, usually) then no-one is going to bother writing this stuff for fear of perpetual criticism and/or unreasonable expectation(s).
