That is not the purpose of the whole exercise, of course.

Sorry if that sounds lofty, but at 10 EUR per new copy (and then free upgrades from my point of view) ther will not be that much money changing hands. What I'd suggest is some sort of quaterly statement (not payment) from each reseller. (Incidentally, I'd (still) tend to believe these statement, so people could be ripping TT off on that. Let's hope I'm notproven wrong). Then when enough money has accumulated, we'll find a way to get it to me (or TT directly). That could be either by bank transfer, or by sending money (long live the common currency!) with recorded delivery, handing it over to me directly at a meeting etc... I DO suggest that the actual transfer of money will not be that much of a problem. Tha advantage of this system is that the resellers have a few months to pay the money. Dennis also asked if he couldn't just buy the software from Jochen and then sell it on. There is a reason I don't like this scheme (even though I wouldn't totally oppose it, and that's support. Suppose a customer has problems with SMSQ/E on the Q40 (heaven forbid). Tne he would contact you and you would have him contact Jochen etc... I'm not sure that this would really be a good thing...
