I saw the HW representative at the NFB R&D committee meeting in February and he told us about the partnership with Code Factory. I admit that the press release doesn't say anything about CF but it is there.

I didn't get that impression from the press release. But, as usual, the lack of an hw presence creates impressions. Sometimes impressions are almost as important as the product itself.

HW is mostly acting as the US distributor.
