On the other hand, it's entirely possible that the administrative expenses for a small license fee for every user could far exceed the actual license fee revenue. And then, of course, such an approach would just encourage more "unauthorized" sharing of data - similar to what's happened over the years for other software.

As one of those implementors I would not mind paying a reasonable license fee and justifying price increases to my customers. I've just never seen a license fee which *is* reasonable; probably because of the quasi-monopoly which exists. Michael C. Mattias Tal Systems Inc. Racine WI [EMAIL PROTECTED] ...
