When you talk about 400 mb RAM usage, we are talking about 1000 page document with two pictures a page and that's pretty heavy usage. There is no known memory leak I know of so far. You could of sent me an email asking about the issue instead of sitting there and wondering and I would of gladly looked into it. I have been putting out pre-release demos that people could buy a license so that they can get an early jump on integrating it into their applications with the caveat that this is beta software. In exchange, they also get get an attentive ear for the features they want integrated and I have actually added a few things at my customers' request. With each beta I have put out I have concentrated on adding new features. With the upcoming beta 13 all features will be implemented (except for the undo capability) and all known problems will be fixed and my customers who have been seeing my preview releases of beta 13 can testify that significant progress has been made towards this goal. So saying, "Thinking::: 'The whole concept' is to unstable and have to many issues," is really an unfair judgement to make at this point. You should be examining the potential of what it can do for you and when its done then judge if it is stable enough. When you jump on board and buy a license for the FTC is up to you, but you are right to wait for the finished product if that is your desire. My goal is to have as defect free product as possible since the reason I built the FTC is to use it in my own applications! You won't have to wait to long now for the finished product and then you can judge. Currently I am working on implementing tabbing which people were asking for. So to your general point, if the quality isn't there, then it doesn't matter what price you pay and I agree with you on that. Specifically for the FTC, I intend it to be a top notch control that is worth every penny you spend on it. _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe or switch delivery mode: <http://www.realsoftware.com/support/listmanager/> Search the archives: <http://support.realsoftware.com/listarchives/lists.html>
