presenting a movie

Just to clarify, none of the products from ojosoft are free.  They 
are distributed as "shareware", which means that you may download and 
try them for free, and you might indeed get away with continuing to 
use them for free, but if you find them useful then you are supposed 
to pay for them, else how can companies like this continue to make 
these products available?  So if ojosoft provided something of value 
to your research, then do the right thing and buy the product to keep 
your karma intact and help keep the company in business providing 
useful products for the next time you need one.
