I didn't ask anyone to do it for free, I said I previously had some offers to do it for free, the last time I asked. I said I could not afford to go to a professional and pay to have a project done. I thought I'd come here and see if anyone might do it for a small fee, someone who does this kind of thing on the side and may have already done something similar that he could work from. Or possibly just fix the near perfect program that I did get a guy to write me for free... On the profit angle, I intend to use it for a commercial CD, but have yet to do any real market analysis on it, because without a decent program to show it on, I have nothing to market. Assuming it is successful, I may make a couple hundred dollars on the whole thing. That doesn't even make a dent in the $1200 I spent building a PC that could handle the task.

In lieu of cash, what would you offer a subcontractor? ::Code ownership? Royalties? ::
