Hi everyone :)
I found out that I might have excluded people who are registered=
users of Eu, but don't own the C-source, to be able to get my=
txt-files with
more specific information on why I *HAD TO* send the open letter=
OFF-Topic to the forum
They can identify by sending me the two lines just above the=
seperation-line in the read.txt that came with the Complete=
Edition of Eu23
to assure me they belong to the group of registered users. This=
again will in no way violate any of Rob's protection-method.
If no-one objects, however, it might be easier if I asked Rob for=
the full list of registered Eu23 owners, just names needed, no=
further info, so no
privacy-invasion will be there.
(still)EUrs, and silently hoping for motivation to stay,
antoine tammer
PS Sorry Euman, I had to lay my own egg first. If it's not=
invading on your privacy, I would appreciate if you'd let me=
know how bad your situation is.
We all sincerely hope (I'm sure) it's not beyond reasonable hope=
for better.

I'd object but the irony is that you now have my name 
Actually I doubt Rob would give you a list of registered users because:
1)
Data protection / privacy issues.
2)
Commercial value - the list of registered users is worth money and I doubt
Rob would give it to you for free.
But I'm not a mind reader (thank goodness - telepathy must be a terrible
condition) so maybe Rob could set us straight on this issue?
BTW Antoine it is very difficult to enforce Non-Disclosure Agreements
(NDA's). If you want your work to remain secret then the only real way of
doing so is not to tell anyone. But that seems a shame as your number
stuff sounds interesting. Please reconsider taking the open source route.
Personally I've found that you get back what you share in this life one way
or another!
Best regards,
Andy Cranston.

I've never given the list of registered users to anyone,
and I never will. DigiBuy collects the credit card information
via secure encryption, and they keep it to themselves.
RDS never sees it. We only get the name, geographical address,
e-mail address, customer comment etc.
I'm not sure why Antoine is only giving his library
to registered users. If it's to help me, I appreciate it,
but I think it would be better if he distributed it freely,
perhaps shrouded, but I think if it were open source
he might get some good suggestions for improving it.
We all tend to think v1.0 of our programs are wonderful,
more or less complete, and highly-marketable,
but when I think back to version 1.0 of Euphoria, I realize
how much improvement can come from having a lot of
users bashing away on something.
