[QUOTE="Morik, post: 727672, member: 4235"] I'm not sure why there will be two programms basicly doing the same: E-Tools AND PCGen are IMO doing the same thing while I like PCGen a lot more (maybe because I used it before E-Tools had come out). There is my second problem. I bought E-Tools and I'm using PCGen. What are my options here? Sureley I have to stick to one programm otherwise supporting two Charakter-Generating programms at the same time doesn't make any sense to me. And... what happens if E-Tools will have far more customers than PCGen in the furture or vice versa? Will one programm be "shut down" then? Now, CMP is a company with all views on how to make profit (and rightly so). I'm not sure of this but my guess is that they will close down one programm that is not generating enough sales for the effort done by the employees. Yeah, it's a company... They're employees not programmers only. I hope that PCGen will have the better start. I like the programm and I had never any problems with it (refering to the Java Discussion). In fact PCGen were a wonderful programm with all the splat-books in it (it is very good without them too). And the fact that all the material will be back makes me smile. And the costs? Well, one have to wait and see. I will buy the data files for sure (not for any price though but a reasonable fee is okay for me). I had dreamed about WOTc employees and PCGen developers would came together and settle on good terms and now exactly that had happend. I congratulate WOTc too but in a positive way. Remember TSR? That was a tough company. WOTc is much softer and friendlier, don't you think? (Hope you will not punch me too hard for my last statement ;-) ) [/QUOTE]
