What benefit should sb have in summary who spent over the years months of his weekend-free-time into a programm for amouts like this? What does sb earn per hour working like this? He gets negative! Does it looks professional to "work" (or: doing his hobby) for a negativ amount in summary? Not for me, sorry, but I know that the officials have other categories. Puting an engine on the yt-cd makes sb to a pro?! Or puting an engine on the winbord-edition-cd by frank - all programmers are professionals now because it was sold for 60(?) marks for 5 (or6?) engines ? We will get a lot new professionals in the near future, I guess... ;-) Christian >That means it is a pro. Having a free version out does not >suddenly make it an amateur again. > >-- >GCP
