Spot on. I use a commercial library from Codejock - www.codejock.com - this cannot be distributed. I also use other commercial libraries with similar restrictions. I can only ship the runtime libraries or link the code into my executable. Another reason for not making the UI code OpenSource is that we end up with a myriad of product variants, also I then get bombarded with questions about porting to Linux / MacOS, how do I compile etc. Simon Brown --- www.sysgem.com
