And what commercial application is that? There are no commercial applications that do what my app will do. That is why I am trying to build my application. You seem to be saying that to run a word processor, people should buy a C programming application and build a word processor. Let us try this yet again: The point of this exercise is for me to build and market a custom application that provides scripted control of the GUI of a commercial appliation, in order to add certain specific features that are not available either as standard features of the commerical app *or* as scripted features using normal applescript techniques. This is something I have done in the past, pre - OSX. > (2) How is it worse to require users of your app to buy QuicKeys or > whatever, when they are already required to own some other commercial > app to use your app? How is it worse to buy TWO applications from two different vendors? Well, it probably costs more don't you suppose? The pre - OSX version of Facespan did exactly what I need: let me build self-contained apps that have the features I create, and which I can distribute on my terms. I asked if Rev had these features. It appears that it does not. _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
