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. > > Has anyone impartially inspected or reviewed your code? > > Not besides Junko, but very soon the entire world will > be able to inspect the front-end of Euphoria, and everyone will > own a complete Euphoria interpreter with 100% Euphoria source code, > able to run all Euphoria programs on all platforms. 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... Jonas
