Boggin, JPM: I truly appreciate your responses addressing my points. I would not begrudge the developer compensation for the [hard and thankless - I am too aware <G>] process of coding and tweaking a program. I see now that I got caught in the middle of the change from 3 to 4... [bought v3, had some serious heart issues, by the time I got around to using it my "new" program was a major revision behind]. One point, at the risk of looking old and decrepit <G> is that I was under the impression that there would be an annual charge for the license. I think anyone who knows what is involved understands and would pay for a major revision... I just rail at the unscrupulous coders that charge a yearly stipend and release no real upgrades, just bug fixes. From your responses I can see that is not the case (I think <G>). You might look and see if you think that needs some clarification. In light of the above [and my belief in supporting the program] I will upgrade today to v4. While I have your attention... thanks for making it open-source-ish and allowing users to craft and submit plug-ins. I wish more coders would do that. Have a great day, and thanks again for a great program! Dave

I really need to learn how to read... thank you for the upgrade!

I concur with the "With all due respect, this is a STUPID decision" school of thought. What you have done is effectively negated any chance that I will buy an upgrade to v4... EVER - or any other program from you. I too make it a practice of buying a program if I have used it for a while and found it useful... which is why I have a v3 license. I am just glad I read the comment about the licensing change BEFORE I pulled the $13.00 upgrade trigger. Just out of curiosity, were you losing a lot of money? Or did you just get greedy? I am so old that I was around BEFORE the internet... when all we had was BBS' and list-servers on 9600 baud dial-up. I have ALWAYS supported the shareware concept with cash. I truly hate to see great freeware/shareware programs such as yours - and it is a GREAT program - shift to a "Rent-ware" model. You might as well just put it in the cloud and charge by the minute to use the program. I would love a response, but don't really expect one. Please surprise me... Can you explain why you sold out to the almighty dollar and only rent the program now? Thanks, Dave Lamme
