If it requires that I use windoze then the price is too high. Also,
shareware is not free; you are supposed to register[2] if you decide
to use the program. 

Even if SPFLite were available for OS/2 and Linux, it is missing TSPF
features that I rely upon, e.g., the ability to run the same REXX
scripts on TSPF as on mainframe SPF.

[2] The registration fee for all of the shareware that I have used 
    has been quite modest.
