I've spoken to Phil and Sophie many moons ago when they purchased Tango from Pervasive. They got a good deal, but paid alot more than $1.00 for it.
Personally I moved away from WiTango several years ago because I could see what was happening. You can't put all the blame on With. Microsoft is a marketing engine that no one has even come close too. PhP is free which makes it even more attractive. The web has changed considerably in the past few years. There are many things you can't do with WiTango that customers want or need. Ajax is a prime example. All in all when/if WiTango 6 is released I don't know how many people will be around to use it as more and more, developers are taking on other technologies leaving WiTango behind. Business-wise this is the best way to end the life cycle of a product.

It might have been that they obtained the software in exchange for maintaining it and supporting the user base. I know (was told by a principle) that Starnine sold Webstar 3.02 to 4D for $1 under that type of arrangement. The original investor no longer wanted to try and make a buck but didn't want to drop everything and leave the bad taste etc. M./ Michael Heth [email protected] ________________________________________________________________________ TO UNSUBSCRIBE: Go to http://www.witango.com/developer/maillist.taf ________________________________________________________________________ TO UNSUBSCRIBE: Go to http://www.witango.com/developer/maillist.taf
