Thanks for the heads up! That is a great package and much better priced then the other alternatives I have looked at. I will download and experiment with it and see if usage is as good as the price :) Thanks again! Code4Food ---- "There is no try; only do or do not" -Yoda

For me I feel its the prinicipal a sort of bait and switch tactic. If it was a paid version from the beginning I wouldn't feel as bad, but being that is was free for some time and then becomes paid is what irks me. You are right you are allowed to make money of your own work, I know I do it. If they wanted to make money from it why didn't they just charge from the very beginning, then I wouldn't have a false sense of security. But now I am wary of any freeware application because it maybe turned into shareware the more popular it becomes. Code4Food ---- "There is no try; only do or do not" -Yoda

Xtreme Toolkit Professional Edition is much better! BCG is nice, but are lacking when compared to the office gui's that they are thing to mimic. Codejock does a much nicer job in this area, and their components are an almost exact match to Office. Additionally, BCG is definitely not cheaper either, I just did a price comparison and they are actually priced more than Codejock libraries by a few bucks, both standard and professional. ;) Cheers, Scott Evans

In my experience just because you aren't getting emails doesn't mean much. Often poeple just sit back and do nothing. They think someone else has reported a problem or requested a new feature. Also free software has a totally different user base than paid software. As soon as you pay for something you expect support etc. and if you don't get it you jump up and down. If some free program doesn't work, too bad, next. You also have no real product loyalty - why should you. If you want to achieve something with you software then I think you'll get much more satisfaction and a better product by heading down the commercial path, where your customers "own" a stake in what you are doing. You also need to go about building a community of users. Forums are good for this, as are newletters etc. Neville Franks, Author of ED for Windows. Free Trial at www.getsoft.com

Yeah, I've seen E.T. added to that list of crappy games, but I know I played it a lot. There were a ton of crappy games, but I'd say the real culprits were the big food companies. BurgerTime was a hit, and before you know it you have games with little dog food chuck wagons driving across the screen with no apparent purpose other than to burn the image into your head. So here is my thinking. I'm guessing that they are trying to avoid what happened in the late 80's. They don't want people saying "Yeah, there are some good games for the XBox, but there are some real stinkers too. Now the Playstation....all their games rock!" I could see how it would be possible to think that, however I don't agree with it. I think today's console consumers are a little better aware of what's going on, than they were 20 - 30 years ago, and I think we have the rise of the computer and computer games to thank for that. So, I can see what they are probably thinking but I don't agree with it. I'd like to get my hands on an SDK too. Also as was mentioned in other posts, it may just be a money thing. Microsoft knows there are people that would be willing to buy the sdk.

just look at links: i searched lounge - because i remembered it was lounge i added extra date - see link end and searched for clearcase - see link middle - even i know it is not cheap you searched i know was discussed there (btw. this way you can get more links than i sent) t!

The webservice reported http://www.codeproject.com/lounge.asp?msg=374588#xx374588xx[^] as having 39 posts in it. And this one[^] as having 26. I figured it was just a webservice glitch because when I first went to the second thread it was moments after David had posted it, so there wasn't enough time to get 25 replies to it. Since I haven't seen it happen since this morning I was just going to wait for you to get back from vacation, but since you asked :rolleyes: I'll let you know if I see it happen again :) James "The elastic retreat rings the close of play as the last wave uncovers the newfangled way.

I feel your pain. RoboHelp is simply fantastic. The real shame is that soon after I was laid off from my last company, so was the writer (I think you see the trend), so the copy of RoboHelp I insisted they buy just two months before is sitting on this guys desk. Aaaggghh.

Yes, when I was writing software for a security company they required that all email between me and them had to be PGP encrypted.
