Thank you for you reply.

I really like the concept of trustware i.e. the users should pay if
they make money from using the component.

I visited the "download & registration" page few days ago but could
not find the button to click and register myself as free license user.
I have also emailed to request for the dcu file (I don't need the
source) though I am not sure if you have receive my mail (my isp's
server was not quite stable recently). I think I might need the free
license when come to conso application at later stage. Would you
consider sending me the file. My email address: gjdeng@...

Do you consider uploading the ibojects files to the file section of
this egoup. This would ensure that only registered members of this
egroup are able to download the file.
