->   He is still around. Recently when I upgraded to the 1000 node server 
-> version, I got with him on the registration cost. He said that since I 
-> had the 50 node regular version earlier, I just had to pay the 
-> difference between it and the 1000 node server version, and that'd be 
-> good enough for him. BMT Micro, who handles the registration purchases 
-> now, originally was going to charge me FULL price, even though I had 
-> previously registered IREX before. Charles said "that overcharge wasn't 
-> necessary".  
  
And when I upgraded to the 1000 node version, BMT Micro had problems 
sending me my registration information.  I emailed Charles directly and 
the next day he forwarded my registration info to me via email.
