They have been elaborated over several years and I think that they are ready for a wider audience. Some members of this list sell libraries and I'd like to get some feeling for the most suitable way to earn some money this way. Selling routines without diagrams seems a chancy business for the buyer, since a LabVIEW version upgrade in the middle of a project can cause your program to stop compiling. Do people really send you money when they sell a program which incorporates a "shareware" component? Or do they just forget where they got it from. How price sensitive are people? It's almost as easy and surely more satisfying to sell 10 copies for $200 as one for $2000. Does NI (or do you) have some legal grip on the word "Tool Kit" as in "Configuration File Tool Kit" ? I'd appreciate the views of Buyers and Sellers both and also those who will never buy.
