First, thanks Geoff.

Second, my TOpenGL component was initially free and with source code. The only
thing I asked for was a post-card (that's one of my hobbies) from those who
wanted to use it. I never got any, however I spent hours of my free time helping
people with their OpenGL problems as well as their computing problems in
general. Now, it's true that I do sell my component, with or without the
source-code. I give FREE (yes, you read it right!) upgrades and support, which
is what I used to do. The only difference is that I "force" people to thank me
for my work. Apart from that, there is an interesting thing. Indeed, by checking
the newsgroups this morning, I found out that on
borland.public.cppbuilder.graphics, your initial message (that contains the
source-code) has been removed. At least, it sounds like it to me (I double
checked on another computer), but my apology if I am wrong. Assuming am correct,
I believe that only the people from Borland and TeamB can do that. I really
wonder what this means... (sarcasm)

Third, this will be my last post about this subject. I definitely have better
things to do.

    Regards, Alan.
