VERY IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT

New registrations have slowed significantly over the last few years, and are now at a level that makes it no longer financially viable to continue with my decision in 1996 to not charge upgrade fees.

Future major releases of ZTreeWin, starting with v2.0, will require an upgrade fee of $10, while minor updates will continue to be free of charge.

* * For those who have registered or upgraded recently, or have already made some extra contribution over the years, I certainly do not expect you to feel obligated at this time, but your generosity is greatly appreciated.

Although I am extremely unhappy about having to make this policy change, the very real alternative is to stop further ZTree development altogether.

This latest release is the best and most stable ever, but there is still so much more that can be done. Some suggestions from users can be found on the ZTreeWiki site.

These, and other enhancements I have planned, will give ZTree even more capability and power, and will hopefully attract more new users to ZTree.

If you've been enjoying the ZTree experience for some time, and the regular addition of new features, your $10 contribution to upgrade to v2.0 should provide the financial support that will enable me to develop the next ZTree upgrade, while continuing to provide regular updates and unlimited support.

Thank you for your understanding, and to all who have kindly supported, both financially and otherwise, my efforts over these past twelve years to provide the very best file-management software available.


Sincerely,
Kim Henkel
