I am not responsible for your inability to read and comprehend! The text of my Post made it clear that I was reffering to strong programs that were not commericially availble. I even named some examples ( ferret and tiger). It was also very clear that I was not talking about giving the program away since I mentioned money and a reason for publishing a program, and my very last sentence in the post raised the question of making money. Don't blame your ignorance and lack of understanding on me please! >i mean crafty can do it because bob does not make his living that way , if he >did he would not give his secrets away .you must be a whiz in ecconomics . > >in saying what you did is like saying pepsi should lay out instructions so >anybody could make it and not need them anymore .do you really understand what >you are saying?????????????? Kid you are really funny, In your imagination you have concocted and invented all kinds of things that I never said or even hinted at. Please work harder in your english classes, particulary on comprehension. Show me one line in my post which even remotely suggested that a established programmer should give away his programming secrets? What you are considering insane, is something manufactured by your own imagination, for I never said any of the things you suggest. If you don't know how to read and comprehend please don't waste my time and your own time, just don't comment! > >by the way how old are you ?? do you earn your own living ? it is a hard cruel >world out there . i have worked very hard thankless jobs (army infantry , max >security prison guard) until i finally got a business of my own . loose lips >sink ships .there is severe compitition in chess programming and a programmer >may only have 1 thing in his program that keeps him above the rest .giving away >that secret may cause him to find another line of work , perhaps one of those >thankless jobs working for some one else .
