- Gee, the net readers out there might get the impression that
- some faithful user of the public version is willing to pick up
- development where the original author left off when he went
- commercial. That's admirable! I think it's especially
- appropriate and very interesting that this user happens to have
- the same name as the author of CRISP who also develops and
- maintains the commercial version. Interesting marketing
- strategy... or are there two Paul Fox's? (after all, their
- email addresses are different - the author of CRISP is in
- England).
-
- Well, I have to say CRISP is a good product and the commercial
- version is much better than the public one (currently).
- Good job Paul.
