This is a BRILLIANT idea. I have at several times in the past, wondered if
I'm using the latest version of the pointer files, or the latest revision
of some program, and often get conflicting data as to what the latest
version is when I ask about it at show. Jochen always provides a printed
price list of all the products he sells with the latest version numbers
beside the products name which I have always found useful, but thats not
much use to use unless you can get to a show - an Internet based web page
with ALL the leatet version of software on it would be invaluable.
So, the problem now is who is going to do it, and not only that, but
MAINTAIN it. Its all very well putting it up to being with, but it would be
a dead loss if not updated very regularly.
Cheers,
Darren.
