I have no problem with paying for software tools, I have bought or
donated for software created by several on this list. My problem was
that there was a major switch in the distribution method of SSb that
caught me unawares and I overwrote the old .rev file with 5.x.
Luckily, I had a .zip file of v4 in my archives.
I like version 4 just fine, with the exception of the 'code' font
which is a variation of Courier, I think, that for some reason on the
Mac shows up as being very grey and hard to read.(Has anyone else
seen this?). I just have to forgo colorization.
I have the same problem with yahoo groups, only worse there. As I
communicated with the authors of SSb, I thought the next 4.x version
would have at least that oversight fixed.
I probably buy it eventually, but a note in the [ANN like, "You've
had this for free for a while but I gotta make it pay for itself"
would have been nice to know. No big deal.

As I understand the Scripter's Scrapbook from my brief use of it a year ago
is that it is like Adobe Acrobat Viewer or UnStuff or UnSit utilities which
become useful when lots of people use them.
I was waiting to install Scripter's Scrapbook after there was lots of
libraries of scripts on the web site to choose from and then it would be a
useful utility.
It kind of defeats the whole purpose of getting lots of people to use it if
you charge for it?
Then after everyone is using it and it is very useful you add "Pro" features
to it that the customer has to pay for. One "Pro" feature might be to
automatically import all the columns from a database table and make a card
with fields for all those columns, labeled, and with database controls
active and buttons for next and previous. If some other useful utilities
like that were included in the "Pro" version I would certainly pay for it.
