[aprssig] UiView32 Registrations

[Vince]

  Agreed.  I'm surprised two things aren't already understood by those
  who've been on this list for a while.

  1.  Registration is FREE.  Just make a donation to the appropriate
      'cause' afterward.  (My mom died of cancer, my father of diabetes,
      so I understand the need to donate for research.)

      All you need do is contact the person in your area of the world who
      has volunteered to register you.

  2. The author of UI-View died last year.  Think about it.

  I don't say much on this SIG as someone in Europe is mirroring the SIG
  without a care to SPAM - their files are open to spambots.  But the
  idea of 'cracking' UI-View, when registration is only an e-mail away,
  is reprehensible to me.
