Just wondering if making a new Q60 SMSQ/E would be a matter of bolting on Q60 specific modules to standard SMSQ/E releases? Alternatively, instead of forcing money he doesn't want onto Peter Graf, an alternative approach might be to buy into Q60 SMSQ/E maintenance, i.e. whoever is building and releasing the new SMSQ/E gets paid to produce a Q60 version. That way, SMSQ/E for Qx0 remains up to date and someone gets paid to produce the new releases alongside the other versions. Just a thought in passing to prevent all this rubbing salt into old wounds and these matters going round and round in circles all the time. The software Peter is producing seems too important to allow the endless argument to get in the way. -- Dilwyn Jones
