The "Feedbackware" registration policy

	Development of xmitBin has to date been irregular and somewhat 
    infrequent as well.  While it is certainly a quality program and has proved
    quite useful to hundreds (if not thousands) of users, there is still a lot
    that can be added to this program - and will, eventually (see the "Future"
    file contained in the xmitBin distribution to get an idea of what is being
    planned).  That's where you come in;  any feedback I receive from users 
    (money, code, comments, or suggestions) will to some degree or another 
    influence the development cycle of the next version.  
	Monetary feedback will (of course) speak the loudest and carry the 
    greatest influence;  if you found this program to be useful, send a few 
    dollars (whatever you think is appropriate) my direction.  In turn, the 
    e-mail address you provide will be put on an xmitBin mailing list to let 
    you know of upcoming releases as well as where to get them.  You'll also be
    assured that it'll be that much sooner that the next release will be 
    available, as I'll be apt to dedicate more time towards that end.  Send 
    your xmitBin cash feedback to:

	Code contributions are also appreciated (as long as they provide some
    bug fix, needed enhancement, or port to a new platform).  Donations of code
    probably won't speed up the next release to any great degree, but they will
    certainly add to its usefullness and functionality.  Contributors of code
    will also be added to the xmitBin mailing list and be notified of new
    releases.
	Suggestions can also be quite useful - many of xmitBin's current 
    features were at one time suggested by a user of the program, and I for one
    think that those comments have made xmitBin quite useful and robust.  This
    is another area that won't speed up the next release cycle (in fact, it
    might even slow it down!), but it'll make the next release more useful.  If
    you provide a suggestion, you can also request that you are added to the
    xmitBin mailing list.
	Comments are definitely appreciated!  Sometimes, it'll even brighten
    what started out to be a very gloomy day;  it's always nice to know that
    your efforts are appreciated!  In a small way, this will make the next
    release of xmitBin come out sooner too, since "a happy programmer is a
    productive programmer"!  Of course, if you bum me out...
