We sell xHarbour Language Reference Guide at a price of $48.00 ($59.00 with PDF). Total net sales for all xHarbour Language Reference Guide's combined over all years is USD $7,550.00. So, our total net loss on xHDN is $31,250.00 We shouldn't forget that lots of developers were and are > working on Harbour for free, which again creates sales, > income and profit for your company.

Sorry, I don't agree. [ Hey Viktor, please, also try to answer MY questions. I see you are replying my posts with a brand new post, but you don't answer my questions on my previous post. Please try to do as me, answer posts INLINE, not start a new post. I can't find answer to my questions this way. Thanks! ;-) ] Also I just can guess, that you meant Harbour+xHarbour > community, otherwise I even less understand the offer. > From you e-mail it wasn't clear that you want a joined > doc effort afterwards, or just pass a copy to the free > Harbour Project (and its free users) for that amount. I don't WANT or demand anything ;-) I just provide you with ideas and suggestions and if you guys like it and want to participate in it, you are welcome. But yes, I'd like this to be a joint Harbour/xHarbour venture. I still hold my opinion, that unless your business with > the docs was a total loss, you should share your docs for > free or some *much more realistic amount*, and we can > continue to build it together for the benefit of all > xHarbour and Harbour users. Sorry, Viktor, I don't understand that you can ask us to just "give away" an investment of + $38.000 with a loss of + $31.000. WHY should we do that? Patrick
