Bruce is, above all else, a business man, in the business of selling a product (and a darned good one, IMHO) with features that people want and will buy. That is the "bottom line." To that end, he actively asks people what they want, and this forum is just one way he does it. As Paul said, version 10 is now past history insofar as changes and such are concerned, but my guess is that Bruce has already started working on version 11, or at least soon will. Sometime before the Spring of 2002, version 11 will probably be set up and on the way to the BETA testers, and NOW is exactly the time for Bruce to gather, digest, and work on the new features, because if he does not, he will not have 11 ready by this time next year. To sum it all up, Bruce is (hopefully) making a good profit from all of this and using it to support his family, and we all are getting some pretty darned good software, so everyone is happy. Bottom line is that we are all helping each other. I do not have any "inside track" to Bruce and/or FormalSoft that anyone else does not have, so all of this is purely speculation on my part (my "disclaimer" to keep the lawyers quiet <g>), but based on a few years on this list and using FO, I think you will find it pretty close to fact. Just my own "unsolicited two cents worth." David E.
