    Hello, There are many shareware programs out there.. and I was wondering what exactly should I take into consideration when publish my own software as shareware: 1. How should I receive the money for it (is paypal a good way?) 2. How should I limit the program.. Should I give it a fully functinal 30-day trial ? limit some functions? 3. Should I warry about people cracking my program ? whats the best and easist way to protect it ? 4. What other things should I take into consideration ? I wonder if any of you experienced people would answer me this questins.. or give an advice. Maybe there is a good article about publishing software as shareware (which I wasnt able to find)? Best regards, Pawel
