Gee, the net readers out there might get the impression that
some faithful user of the public version is willing to pick up
development where the original author left off when he went
commercial. That's admirable! I think it's especially
appropriate and very interesting that this user happens to have
the same name as the author of CRISP who also develops and
maintains the commercial version.  Interesting marketing
strategy... or are there two Paul Fox's? (after all, their
email addresses are different - the author of CRISP is in
England).

Well, I have to say CRISP is a good product and the commercial 
version is much better than the public one (currently). 
Good job Paul.
