   GH> Wow, that would be an older version yet.  Actually, If I understand   
   GH>correctly, version 2.31 IS the beta that you can't get from his   
   GH>site. I don't really remember which sysop I got this version from   
   GH>but like I said... it's rock solid on my system. :)   
      
     I think 2.29 was the last full shareware release. While I have the   
   shareware versions for DOS, Linux, Windows, and OS/2 in my files area,   
   they are limited to the number of connects if IREX isn't unregistered. I   
   don't know if there is a "expiration" on the time, as I've seen other   
   programs lately that if you don't register them by a certain time, they   
   shut down.   
      
     One side note in the case of IREX...I heard that IREX apparently also   
   transmits the registration code and other info back to the author,   
   Charles Cruden...so, he can track "illegally registered copies". Quite a   
   bit of software has that capability now.   
      
     I will add that if the shareware author will support his product, then   
   it's the least I can do to register it. However, so many programs from   
   the "BBS heyday" are now abandonware, and no longer registerable. With   
   IREX, though...you can register it through BMT Micro...and the code is   
   good for all OS versions. Plus, once you initially register it (such as   
   the 50 node, no server version for $25), and you upgrade to the 1000   
   node, server version, you just pay the difference ($25), as the fee for   
   the latter is $50.   
      
     And, apparently the 1000 node, server version is the ONLY one that   
   will allow IREX to allow connects from unlisted systems. Otherwise, you   
   may enter and save it in the configuration program, but when you load it   
   again, the value for that is set back to "NO".
