Well actually a mouse card or mouse port, since the Laser 128, IIc, and gs have ports, not cards... >>I want people to enjoy it, as I've said, there's no money in it. >How about a pricing scheme patterned (somewhat) after Talk is Cheap? >Make the early versions freeware, and then when you get to a point where >it's fairly well developed, start asking for shareware fees.

I like the idea, as of now Daemon is freeware until further notice. Actually I like making updates to make things more comfy. Personally I don't think of Daemon as done until Windowing features for task selection are added... First Shareware version probably... >fadden@cory.berkeley.edu (Andy McFadden) >...!ucbvax!cory!fadden >labc-3dc@widow.berkeley.edu You heard it from the horse's mouth folks, Daemon is freeware until further notice... -- Michael J Pender Jr Box 1942 c/o W.P.I. I wrote SHELL and Daemon, greyelf@wpi.bitnet 100 Institute Rd. send bug reports, suggestions, greyelf@wpi.wpi.edu Worcester, Ma 01609 checks to me. People keep asking me if Shell or Daemon are compatible with the IIc, IIe. YES, I wrote them on my Laser 128. Now Daemon also works on the GS. Tell you what, you buy me a gs, I'll write stuff for it... I guess the only apple Daemon doesn't work on is a mac (heh, heh).
