I have a few thoughts on this, in no particular order, and not <BR>
necessarily arranged coherently.<BR>
<BR>
+ Perhaps a "used" Windows machine would be less costly<BR>
than that particular RunRev license required to produce<BR>
cross-platform applications.<BR>
<BR>
+ Have you considered html? <BR>
<BR>
+ There is some irony here. I personally think your efforts are<BR>
important. But apparently the product is not important enough to <BR>
your "customers" that they would be willing to exchange a few <BR>
bucks for it, and thereby support it financially. <BR>
Yet, you are disappointed in a profit-making <BR>
corporation for not giving away the fruits of their labor for free.<BR>
Wouldn't a more logical focus of your disappointment be those<BR>
who have a vested interest in your product by way of culture and<BR>
history, rather than those who have no vested interest?<BR>
