Susan, I have some difficulties about the difference you make between
your site and the other Pricelesswaresite. IMHO both sites represent
the opinions of the ACF members regarding the Pricelessware programs.

With kind regards,

Revised to Pricelessware & ACF

Okay?

You have difficulties? Or you seek to create them?

I beg your pardon? I just asked a question, and obviously Susan
understood what I meant. So, I have no problems anymore. How about
you??

With kind regards,

You know quite well, Henk. It is good that this ended before it
(re)started. That Susan provided a custom solution to appease.
How about you??

Fine now: Back to cruise the freeware terrains.

Yum, bribes are good. :)

Today I think Bjorn and I *both* made mountains out of molehills. ;)

I'm sure Bjorn thought it was a simple request - and it was - but IMO
it's a matter of *preference* - not "right" or "wrong" - and it seemed
to me that *my* preferences should *sometimes* be taken into
consideration. . .

anyway. . .

At the moment I'm trying to figure out the company-author info for
TClock aka TClock Light

so far I have. . .

Care to help? Endless hours of fun await you. . .

http://homepage1.nifty.com/kazubon/tclock/help/en/about.html
Kazubon (at the top of the page)

Kazubon's homepage. Kazubon as author in the reame. Kazubon listed in
the exe's file properties.
ACF program description post
Kazuto Sato

Author's real name, as Rod says in his followup. Since we don't know
Japanese, hard to guess if Kazuto and Kazubon are variations on the
same name...? I'm really most inclined to interpret that it's the usual
circumstance: the author has a nym which he uses for signing his programs,
separate from his birth name. Choice of two, I'd go with Kazubon. Or,
just as good, you could list Kazubon as company, and Kazuto Sato as author.

Throw that bit in the garbage pail, since it doesn't fit in anywhere.
Consider it some random error someone made along the way. Have the
accountants write it off.

I don't think so - I found that used on more than one site. . .

Since you tell me the exe and readme say Kazubon I'll use that for
author instead of Kazuto Sato, NAKTO for company.

I very much doubt it.

separate from his birth name. Choice of two, I'd go with Kazubon. Or,

The given name is Kazuto and my guess is that he uses Kazubon as a
professional name, replacing the second character (to) of his name with
whatever 'bon' is. I don't think Kazubon is a real name at all and would
guess that he picked the 'bon' character because it made a compound he
liked a variant meaning of.

Agreed. God knows where NAKTO crept in. Probably nonags found themselves
in the same situation that Susan has, and just invented it.

We could always email him and ask...
