Such a change in the program in one afternoon is not possible. You have to think
about all the consequences. What you can do in an amateur program that has just
to run on YOUR computer is totally different than what you must do to make it
work on the computers of ALL the potential customers.
And I'm not even talking about the potential technical problems,
incompatibilities, and Copyright issues.
From a commercial point of view I regret I don't have them, but I don't think
I'm providing a weak product to the customers anyway. It's a compromise, but the
customers wins more than it loses because the program has other strong points.
