A similar affair is being set up by Be, Inc., the producers of a very
very interesting little device called the BeBox. In theory, since an IF
work would work in a BeBox, they would be willing to support it on their
Web site.

(Details: Be, Inc. will market and collect payment for your registerable
shareware as well as dispense unlocked versions of the product, if I
recall, through their Website, on your behalf. -- www.be.com for more.)
