I'm not sure of your reasoning unless it's only to stir up crap. Graziano is charging for software that makes use of ASSP code, most of which is code that Fritz has tweaked. I seriously doubt if Fritz would have asked for anything had Graziano used code prior to the 1.12 version or given it away. But Graziano was using Fritz's work and charging for Fritz's work, while coming out here and wanting free help. Since Graziano is charging, there is an assumption that he will deal with any issues that arise out of the use of private betas, therefore the use of private betas becomes Graziano's problem. On the other hand, the other guy is not charging, but is putting Fritz's work out there, it could come back to bother Fritz. He could get the reputation for releasing not-ready-for-primetime code for public consumption. It has obviously come to the attention of someone, so this is a very real issue in Fritz's mind, whether you agree or not. My issue is that you appear to be trying to tarnish the reputation of someone that has given much to the community. Using language like 'shake down...for cash' is inflamatory and suggests something that, quite frankly, you or none of the rest of us has enough information to suggest. Do you REALLY want to get Fritz to the point where it's not worth spending any more time on this project? There comes a point of diminishing return and having motives attacked brings people to that point much sooner.
