You Gentlemen are all missing one vital point, somepeople out there really like this package, some others hate but love another one. What I really would love to see is some try-out packages like the $100 Acad demo that give you a real chance to let your customer see if the software fits his needs and wants without having to invest in a pig in a poke. If you could try it before you bought it then why would you even want the source code, if it didn't work then your not out that much. To much time is wasted re-inventing the wheel because we've already spent our budgets and hve bought the wrong thing. Why doesn't someone come up with a way to lock up some of Acad commands from inside lisp so that while your lisp was running in demo mode Acad was hobled. Maybe no saving or plotting, that way you could test the features but would still need the real thing to make use of it. Corky Deeds LightSpeed Corp.
