Sure , he is.
Like Bill Cruz is ( he do not want to release TS5 before being sure that it
worked).

No need of that.
I saw the previous version of Bob' software and I know what is his concept.

There are fortunately several people in this case on Earth.

I'll not change my mind on this point.
Programming is not an easy task when going into complicated code.
VB or EL will not help in this sense, and we have proofs all day long.

Probably true.
I have suggested this to Bill Cruz last year

I personally will stick with what I know, and being satisfied of what I have,
I have no reason to change.
I also do not want to translate all of what I have written into VB, the only
annoying thind in old TS4 being the 64 kb limit.
Besides, I cand do most of what I need with TS, and TradeLab could certainly
help me, but for the moment it's not worth the work.
This is a personal opinion, unrelated to selling TS or anything linked to it.

As we use to say in France, a great tool does not necessary make a great
worker.

Sincerely,

Pierre Orphelin
