I agree. Additionally, even if the cost of closed source needs to be a little higher to support all LiveCode platforms, they should, IMHO. If one is going to make tools for LiveCode, those tools are usless to me unless I can leverage them on any supported platform of MY choice, not just the tool developers favorite OS. I have over the years begged and pleaded with my boss to support the LC developer community by purchasing tools made with and for LC. By far, the best ROI has come from those that work cross-platform. It is my hope that widgets will be built this way by those who sell them, and not rely on mostly foreign os calls in LCB just to support that one fav OS. Quartam Reports is pure LiveCode, and as such it has been a great tool for use on all major desktop platforms. ~Roger _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
