   I agree with that, but I'm in no position to 'talk' him into releasing   
   the source. I'd discourage anyone from registering irex and just persue   
   using the unregistered version or looking into offering to buy someone   
   else's key. This isn't anything new, as I was given a key generator for   
   FastEcho 1.46 which can open that program for max use...
