We have not been to any QL meetings since April, the liceces Peter bought from you in advance of sales were used up by June and July would have seen the end of production or even earlier. The licence was still in flux, I think, and I haven't done anything for the Q60 for a very long time, plus working away from home has not helped. Production is intense when I do it hence a lot of sales = a lot of work, I want a steady flow so if I want a few months off Q60 work, I'll do just that. This brings us to now, I have started production again and received one order the actual point of sale will be in a month (?) so there is a wide gap between the last sale and the next sale. A bit of general info there. Yes, I see, since Peter paid everything after that is 10EUR, is that correct? I thought (until this last week or so) the new licence would start at v3.00 (it was mentioned some time ago) and all previous was with the original aggreement (2.98 for us). You might not know but if the version number is not the start of the licence then there must be a starting date, what is it, anyone, Wolfy? Dennis - D&D Systems
