hi vore, some people are lucky that they can sell their software inventions. i've found the best thing to do is enjoy the work that you do in your spare time... in that way, if your work doesn't become a financial success, you haven't wasted time.
it also helps to work with others, or have people to talk to about things you enjoy. the people i find most inspiring are 3000 miles away and i talk to them via email. i hope this helps. ta, jack. 2012/3/14 vore omni <[email protected]>: > Do you think there is a commercial prospect for such a project? > > Both lexer and parser are made in prolog.
