Thanks. Yes, eye-candy sells. I'm a bit disapointed, as the 3.0 release has sold more than prior versions, but not as well as I'd hoped. It's written in VC++ and has a full COM API for integration, but that hasn't sold one license so far, and it's much more time to implement features in VC++ versus a higher level language. It's also using 'legacy' win32 calls for much of its functionality which is very problemsome, particularly with newer OS's, etc. I'm actually halfway considering writing a 4.0 in VC#.NET.... Either that, or leave it in a 'maintenance mode' and work on a completely separate product... I'm still on the fence as to which to spend my extra time on... -- Derek _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
