Downloading Issues and Questions

• Security: Your browser or your operating system (Windows 7 is particularly fussy) may warn you
  that this software may not be safe! But after spending 28 years writing and giving away intelligent software,
  I certainly would not compromise my reputation by making it unsafe! I must ask you to trust me on this,
  or send me an e-mail and ask me whatever you wish for confirmation.
