Hi Christopher,

Speaking for just myself, I understood that as soon as someone explained 
that "crack" was slang for a pirated copy of a program.  Thanks for the 
additional clarification.  Now I know not to get mixed up with the wrong 
kind of people!

Always honest,
Danny

Yes, Angel's got it right.  In very basic terms, getting a "crack" of a
piece of software means that you obtain a fully registered version of it
without paying for it. What the original guy was asking was completely
understandable as far as the way he phrased it goes.   I guess some of us
need to be more careful in just assuming that everyone understands the
terminology that we throw around.    But what the original guy wants is for
someone to contact him and give him a program, or a method by which he can
obtain a fully registered version of JAWS without paying for it.
