Hi: Some time ago I recall Bruce gave his reasons, but I do not recall them enough to tell. My guess is that If he was sure money would come in a decent amount, he would do it public. But, as you say, a "decent amount" is very difficult to get these days. Too many programs, too few purchasers. Besides I guess also Bruce hate what happens once you have delivered the thing: at the next day wpuild appear pain-in-the-ass posts saying Ferret is not that strong after all, that it takes one second more than program X to solve test Y, etc.... In this actual quality as a misterious leyend appearing from time to time to give great perfomances it keeps his glamour... Fernando
