Mathewson, That's is too much work for too little pay. They are stealing your life's blood! Take a look at the statistics for the average piece of software out on the market as to the number of sales that are usually generated. Think of all the wonderful games out there that have failed to sell. Think of how huge the game market is. Now remember that your application is not a game and is focused on a much smaller market, just the musical education market yes? What are the realistic numbers for the number of sales of this CD-ROM? How much money is the company putting behind the product for their sales efforts, where are they going to advertise the product? I personally wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole! Good Luck, Rick Harrison _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
