[QUOTE="Twin Rose, post: 1184096, member: 2765"] So many posts I want to respond to, I'll have to skip quoting. Luke: You're right. Believe me, if I was "only out to make money" I'd go back to writing VB databases for Time Share Units. That was some pretty healthy money, I can tell you, and what funds me through life in general ;) Nine Hands: Don't sweat the beer, I was glad to "contribute" to the PCGen effort;) Besides, the bartender charged me less than half what she should have for a round of 20 drinks! For a few people: In regards to using trademarks, I simply wouldn't. I wouldn't say, "Use this to import Sword & Fist into CSX." It would say, "Import/Export to/from Format A." Whether format A says, "PCGen Lst File" or "LST file" can be determined by friendly discourse. I certainly "won't make money" by using trademarks. The sales come one way or another. I doubt that anyone would pick up my DVD case, read on the back, "Works with LST files" and decide to make their purchase based on that fact. People just don't work that way. It's about saying to those people who HAVE made the purchase, "Look, we're working harder to make you happy ... and here's how." And making people smile and have good will. Unless I'm utterly mistaken, anyone making LST files is doing it -for that reason-. IN the end, I'm NOT going to integrate any one specific LST file... That'd be against the point. [/QUOTE]
