Has anyone in the group ventured into shareware for the I?

The only person I can think of who has done that (or something close) is Brad Stone (www.bvstools.com). I _think_ he started off as shareware and then moved to "cheapware" (for want of a better term) which is what he does not.

FWIW - I don't see how shareware can work in as small a market place as ours. It works (to some extent) in the PC and even the Mac marketplace but there the potential volumes are huge.

I'd be looking to either use a model such as Brads where support etc. is part of the package, or look to a company such as Linoma, Pro-Data, or one of the other ISVs who handle programmer's utilities.
