Re: [geonet]: Grid Histogram GX

[Aaron Balasch]

I agree with Joe Duvall. I might just drop his first point though. If  #1. was a condition, I would have never have offered my Grid Histogram GX, it also seems like you're making demands on the person who in the first place is kind enough to offer the GX. I am in total agreement with #2 and #3, after all, didn't Geosoft awhile ago make a policy of removing 'copyright Geosost" off their GX's? Having said this, I think #4 should also be extended to the person who is offering the GX, after all if the person's offering it for no charge I think it's likewise unfair to demand that the person offering the GX is not held responsible for the performance of the GX.   Aaron Balasch Sky Hunter Technologies Inc.
