:-) :-), for a moment I was surprised that the real author of Crisp
Paul Fox (from U.K) posted something, as he never bothers answering
any questions on anything related to Crisp prior to 3.0, but then
that my surprise lasted only for a moment as I saw your EMAIL addr.

Any way, I apologize if that is the impression I gave, however just to
for a little more info on Crisp prior to 3.0. Crisp was a shareware
version with a $60.00 value attached to it. People usually tend to
ignore it. 

Shareware, as of yet is still available on the net, however if you know
of someone doing any real development on it, I would really be interested
in knowing it. As far as I know, I keep on getting calls from previous 
shareware users who are being referred to the commercial release by other
3.0 users as there is no support available for 2.2 anymore.

As far as the price of the product is concerned, $149.99 for a starter
version is by no means very expensive, but then maybe anything above
and beyond a few dollars is expensive, and Paul Fox (U.K) committed a 
cardinal sin by trying to sell his software :-). Software developers 
are supposed to work for free anyway.
