You can regard FinderPop as free. It can be included on magazine and Info-Mac CDs, etc., without asking my permission. While I wouldn窶冲 say 窶從o窶 to a copy of your magazine if you do this, you are under no obligation to do anything. I do retain the copyright, however.
While you窶决e reading this, I窶冤l just plug my other freebie menu-related utility, Popup Navigator (available on Info-Mac, and on my naff homepage, below.) This allows you to see exactly where your open documents are located on your disks by command- clicking a document window's title. Much like the Finder, really.
Legal Niceties and Contact Information
(The following text shamelessly stolen from one of Peter Lewis窶 programs; names have been changed to implicate the guilty. I窶冤l get round to doing my own real soon now.)
This program should do what is described in this document. If it doesn窶冲, you can simply stop using it. If you paid for the product, and find that it doesn窶冲 do what has been described here, then you can notify me 窶 Turlough O窶僂onnor 窶 and your money will be refunded and your license cancelled.

In no event shall Turlough O窶僂onnor be liable for any damages, regardless of the form of the claim. The person using the software bears all risk as to the quality and performance of the software.
In short, you use this product at your own risk.
Note that use of FinderPop may, according to some theories, contribute to the heat death of the universe.

PintWare?
Finally, a number of people have mailed me asking for my snail-mail address so they could send me something for my troubles, or why FinderPop is no longer 窶弃intware窶. Well, the day of pintware may be here again: rather than burdening my poor postman, if you really think FinderPop is cool, and you窶囘 like the opportunity to express your gratitude and get me a couple of pints for the loooong evenings and weekends I窶况e put into it, you can do so by 窶徨egistering窶 it via Kagi for $7 (the price of two pints of Beamish at my local!) at <http://order.kagi.com/?2WG> (non-secure browsers), or <http://order.kagi.com/?2WG&S> (secure browsers.) Because FinderPop is nominally free, I窶况e made this text tiny and hidden it in the manual which no-one reads anyway, plus you窶冤l have to type in the above URLs 窶 basically, I want to make it as difficult as possible for you :-) You get no 窶徭ecret password窶 窶冂os there窶冱 no 窶徨egistration dialog窶 etc., in FinderPop anymore. In fact, you get nothing in return other than a 窶廚heers, bud窶 and a raised glass the next time I窶冦 down in the pub (plus the immense cachet of having bought me a pint!)
I窶囘 prefer any income derived from this just to keep me in beer and ciggies 窶 anything over and above say $100 a month will be donated to local Cork charities. (That said, however, I wouldn窶冲 mind if the 窶彿ncome窶 from this amounted to more than $14 a month, which is what it窶冱 been since November. Tsk. Does no-one read manuals anymore? Nights out on the ran-tan-tan will be few and far between at this rate:-)
As usual, if you窶决e having problems with FinderPop, or have suggestions which aren窶冲 mentioned in the introductory chapter here, drop me a line and I窶冤l do what I can窶ｦ
