[Papyrus-L] Lets not throw in the towel

[Rick Lentz]

Dave,

I have appreciated your DOS program, your reasonable prices and 
licensing policies, and your terrific commitment to support.  It would 
be a shame if we had to lose it.

You indicate that that RSD does not have the resources to continue 
working on a windows Papyrus version.  Assuming you lack only the 
resources, and not the enthusiasm for the project, perhaps its possible 
that your cadre of loyal Papyrus-users (of which I count myself one)can 
present a solution. This may be a naive proposal, but I know that I 
would be willing to invest a certain amount of money up front, if I 
knew we could obtain a Windows or ?-based Papyrus version. If enough 
Papyrus users were willing to provide up-front capital, would you be 
able to finish the project?  Perhaps we could form a cooperative or 
find some other way to find the resources to finish the project.  What 
do you think?

--Rick
