BTW, I suspect they may regret GPL-ing it. According to the web site, they have been developing this product for a long time. They have been selling the Windows version for hundreds of dollars. They only released the source code last year for the first time. Given that it is GPLed, anyone is now free to modify it to run under Windows, and give it away. So, by GPL-ing the code, they may have destroyed their source of income. Adam --- http://phonecowboy.com/registrar/twist/ finds a good domain for you and checks for its existence.
