I can't confirm as to whether muimaster 020 is safe, but late last year I
was
bored so I used the search engine in the old egroups mailing list and
(naughty
I know) search under "warez". It gave one hit to a Digital Corruption
mailing
list. I subcribed (being the 5th member) and whilst there were no mail
postngs
there were a large nunmber of files for downloading ;)

To my surprise they were ALL hacked/cracked keyfiles for Voyager3, AWeb3.2,
MUI 3.8, and tons of other commercial programs. I un-subcribed, emailed
Gary Peake and the list went down a few days later.

Tread carefully if this is the same Digital Corruption I had the displeasure
to
come across :(((

Kind Regards
