I'm certain nobody is implying this, least of all Wolfgang and me. When I changed EasyPtr, which was not written by me originally but improved at a significant personal cost in terms of time, this was again commercial. Considering the time spent on it I think I made 5€/h on that one over all the years. Still I made it free now because I cannot really in good conscience still charge for it anymore. And don't get me wrong, the will of the creator should always be obeyed. If Fred Toussi doesn't want Text87 to be released then I think this is pretty weird because it's an amazing piece of software and a shame that nobody can see how cool it was for its time, but hey, it's his call. I don't necessarily feel the need to extend the same courtesy to people who didn't take part in the creation, however. Marcel _______________________________________________ QL-Users Mailing List
