Well, I guess I have to retract my earlier statement...RDS does get
involved in these discussions!

When to charge for upgrade? WHENEVER YOU WANT!!!!!!!!!!! It's your
product! Obviously if you charge for every little change then you'll
hack some people off. I would even be open to a "maintenance" based
system where we could pay a fixed $ every year for the priveledge of
getting the upgrades whenever they come out.
OR...go to a V.R.M system and charge whenever the R changes? That would
be very similar to what you're doing now and if you change the R
every year you'd be getting about the same result.

Rob, from my perspective I have very little interest in the front-end
of the interpreter or having a 100% Euphoria-based interpreter. What I
need is a stable product that solves the problem at hand. My guess would
be that I'm not alone on this...
