[aprssig] UiView32 Registrations

[Vince]

  Because the code isn't yours?!

  How would you like it if someone took your code?  Folks around the
  world are willing to register anyone with the promise they will donate
  to cancer research, or whatever the latest requirement is - I don't
  pretend to keep up.  The question remains - what if someone broke your
  code????

  Guess I expected more from a fellow programmer.  Especially someone who
  has been around as long as you have on these posts, and apparently
  cared so much that they'd offer new options.  Then again, I don't know
  you.
