I read your thread on copy protection and I think that you are absolutely right. I also wanted to ask you something about Bones. I was told by someone at Digimation that I was going to be sent a copy of Bones to Beta test it and I never received anything. Can you please let me know what happened? I have beta tested for several companies including Fractal Design and Microsoft, and I believe that I could be an asset to you guys in the development of your IPAS programs. One more thing…. How exatly does the deal work for someone making an IPAS routine that wants to sell it through a distribution channel such as yours? I am building a couple of Plug-Ins, and Max Hoffman at Autodesk spoke to me about you guys and Shreiber for distribution. I would like to know how this kind of deal is worked out. My questions are somewhat specific: 1-How does one price the Plug-In? 2-How much will you sell it for after the price is set? Do I regulate that? 3-How long is the contract for? 4-What kind of revenues are projected for the creator of the Plug-In, Short-term, and long-term? I thank you in advance for taking the time to read this and to respond to my questions. Please let me know. Sincerely, Alex Karamanoglou Network Graphics & Animations (305) 865-0081
