Well, yes, I'll sell a support contract for anything I can get the source to freely. I'm a bit mystified as to how I should price these contracts though. I'm leaning towards a subscription covering everything, to keep the bookkeeping down. How much would you pay for support for GNU emacs? For a suite of ~100 packages of various sizes? Are you authorized to spend the money, or are you talking through your hat? I've got the library, I've got the staff, I've been supporting this stuff for my employers and consulting clients for years. All I need now is a couple of serious sales so I can switch the emphasis from consulting to support contracts. Takers? This isn't supposed to be an ad by the way; I really would like to hear feedback on this from any and all, but particularly from anybody in a position to actually buy such a service. -- Steve Nuchia South Coast Computing Services uunet!nuchat!steve POB 890952 Houston, Texas 77289 (713) 964 2462 Consultation & Systems, Support for PD Software.
