Newcom is now GPL, so you can add functions, correct bugs, change messages, disable what doesn't interest you, ... Because like say Linus Torvalds, "Software is like sex, it's better when it's free!"

    In fact, I've created Newcom for 3 reasons: first, I love coding, after I needed such a program, and at last (but not at least) I thought that people may be intersted by it. Why shall I keep the code source on a directory in my hard drive? (For the time, we prefer to keep our multimedia systems used in HPLAY, so HPLAY stays Freeware and not GPL).

    I've compiled Newcom the Borland Pascal 7. If you can convert it to a free Pascal compiler (freeware or GPL, like GPC or FPK), it would be great, but those I've found only compile for protected mode and Newcom use real mode. (expected for FIND, which needs PM to short thousands of files with the -Ox option).
