Why the antagonism?  The guy simply made a program and wants to sell it.
You already need to own the tracks for the converter to work so Papyrus
isn't being short changed a bit. These converted tracks will never see
the NROS, they are simply for entertainment.
I find it difficult to understand all this negative ***about charging
for software. It's most likely the same people who have never registered
shareware in their life. Now that the patches are out, the whiners need
something else to complain about.  Wake up and smell the coffee!

Thank god for a sane comment, thank you Terry, as for wetter... get a
life. stop crying because he wants money for his hard work. he owes
nothing to papyrus because his converter contains NO papyrus
programming. you have already paid for the tracks. now to use them on
another program you have to PAY for that right...get over it.

Thank You Dave for an awesome converter, when I save up 30 bucks and
also buy ICR2 I'll pay for your program. And be happy to do so.

Not a proper example.
PKWARE doesn't really convert your file from one useable format
to another useable format.

When PKWARE (PKZIP->PKUNZIP) is done the file is (hopefully) in it's
original format.

The Zipped format is "usable" only by PKUNZIP. and it only recreates the
original format.

There isn't any "value" added to the data.

I'd call reducing my my file sizes 25-75% (especially for modeming) a VALUE!

Yo, since your serving coffee and doughnuts, how bout a little cream and
surgar and a couple chocolate glazed ring doughnuts.  I admit, I'm a
real sucker for chocolate doughnuts.  So what the **** does this have to
do with royalties anyways?

Because only the royalties have the luxury to sit around all day having
coffee, tea, and doughnuts.  The rest of us lot are working too hard to
make a living! ;-)
