Are you saying that you want a copy of episodes two and three for free or do you mean something else. Because I don't know where you are coming from I will explain to you what shareware is and how it ties in with DOOM. Shareware is where you usually get a version of the game that is does'nt have all of the levels, episodes, features, ect... included. In order to get these levels and features you must pay money for them. That is the shareware concept. Doom follows this concept in that you recieve the first episode for free and then pay $40 for episodes two and three. They tempt you with the first episode and then force you to pay to get the next episodes in order to play them. Mike
