An explanation, perhaps, is that Macrobyte is
interested in the revenue that comes from satisfied customers. This seems
to mean that Conversant's development is driven not just by developer vision,
but by customer demands. This is a *great* thing.
It would be interesting to see what would happen if
FC or portions of it where made available. Get an eval of Frontier, load
up the FC tools and make a comparision. Or even consider making it
possible to run some portion of it on Radio.
Either way it would help sell units for both
companies. This is the key.
Competition would be a good thing. Not just
for tool development but for customer service. Once the users get a taste
of the great support they get for Conversant one would hope UserLand folks
would catch up. A little pressure's a good thing!
