When I registered Tap 4.2 about 1985 it was shareware, and I think through the versions it always remained so, but as with true shareware back in the day, with no expiring trial period and I don't remember even a nag screen. There was a registration procedure, of course. Otherwise what would be the point? I still have a working copy of Tap, and I just looked all over the help screens, but there's no originating date attached to the copyright notice. That's likely because on Howard's death copyright ownership changed, first to his daughters and then to Support Group.
