It does expect some sort of payment if you plan to use Euphoria for a period longer than a reasonable evaluation. <snip> I am sorry, David, but I think you are seriously misrepresenting the RDS' clearly stated policy. I quote from the README.DOC: "People can use Euphoria for as long as they like without obligation. We make money from those who start to seriously develop large applications, and want to get the latest release, technical support and enhanced bind, profile, and debug support for large programs." I know next to nothing about the shareware business, but I think this is a very sensible policy and I applaud Rob's latest move to gradually lift restrictions on debugging, while shifting emphasis to binding/compilation. jiri
