Not for MIF wash, or export graphics, or saving as
MIF for a full book (without breaking the links)...
only for HTML, XML, and RTF outputs.

You're welcome!  ;-)

No.  I don't like "crippleware", where features are
removed to maintain sales value in the more complete
product.  The Jabberwocky is as close as we'll come
to that.

Basically, we *already* give Mif2Go away to anyone who 
cannot afford it for a good reason, like unemployment.
We see no reason to subsidize greedy corporations where
the savings go into the pocket of an overpaid CEO, and 
do absolutely nothing to help the employees.

Used to be, we gave away one copy for every two or three
we sold.  Last few years, it's ten free for every one sold.
Lots of pain out there these days, and that's where we
choose to put our support.
