I didn't go back and check the archives or emails you may have sent out to the beta testers (which I was one of), but I thought you had indicated something to that effect and I thought this last post was a change in your position (perhaps due to legal issues with your employment and purchase of MXI by Rocket). It I took your original statement wrong, then I sincerely apologize and that is good news. >Freeware is software that is free - I do not see an implication of supplied source. > There is none and I never said there was. It is just my opinion (which is why I wrote IMO) that it isn't in the spirit of the original CBT. I think there may be some other examples now as well, but most are just "shortcuts" and the source code is on other files. Some others may be collections where no one has the source code. Either way, please don't take this personally. I very much appreciate the availability and usage of the freeware MXI over the years. It's just a shame that there is no source code for someone else to maintain since you don't have the time.
