IDL Shareware [message #18571]

All,

I would like to voice my support to David Fanning's post on the idea of
shareware. I have had a few programs available on my site for awhile,
but no one has bought any. Plus, I notice that no one has replied to
David's post.

I am curious as to why.

As David correctly points out, shareware programs would be high quality,
useful items for a VERY reasonable price. Just think about it, $30.00
for a program that took 100 hours to write? From my point of view,
shareware exists to provide a service to the IDL community while
providing some recompense for those whose livelihood depends upon IDL
programming like David and I.

Anyway, I would appreciate opinions on why getting this shareware idea
off the ground is do difficult.

-Ronn
