All,

Wow! I make a post, go away for a day and have 18 replies!

Both David and I have secure sites that accept credit card entries. In
fact I have had shareware for sale for a few months, but precious
few takers.

The way I do it is simple, the save files are not disabled in any way
and if you want source you only have to pay a small fee. If you want to
buy something that someone else writes then you work it out with them.

I add more all the time!

So if the idea of shareware is a good idea, what types are people
interested in? Both David's and my stuff is slanted toward general GUI
type applications, but is that all there is? I personally like the
technical stuff. But I imagine that the more technical you get, the less
people are interested in it. For example, I have close to 90 IDL
routines that have to do with orbital mechanics but I have rarely seen
any posts asking about orbits. It is just a little too specialized.
