I hope you all find it as informative as I did! LG - Why did you decide to write an e-mail client package? We started using e-mail in the end of 1996 when I was away from the rest of other RITLABS guys and when Internet service providing had just started in our country. Before that, I was extensively using FidoNet mailing. I was surprised that none of the e-mail clients I tried was satisfactory for me (though I did not do a lot of mailing) - the main complaint was the absence of templates. So, when I came back, the first program I wrote was a small gateway program to convert Internet e-mail into FidoNet Netmail to read Internet messages using an FTN mail reader, and finally came to the conclusion that the next program I will write would be an e-mail client which will suit my needs plus fulfill the suggestions of my colleagues. In February 1997, we were expecting a big job from the Moldavian Air Traffic Service Authority, but they never came through with the final decision. While we were waiting, I started writing The Bat! (codenamed A-mailer), the first quick and dirty version was ready in one month, when no company came up with a good job for us, we decided to release The Bat! to public and announce it from our site as a Wide Area Beta. LG - Did you base it from another e-mail client package? If you mean something intentional, then the answer is no. :-) Some interface details like the three-panel main window were used in Netscape, PM Mail and several other clients, so it was just like making a car - some common (and considered as natural) principles were used, but it is not possible to say that a particular package was used as a "prototype". LG - Why did you choose the name "The Bat!"? Almost because it does not contain the word "mail" :-) Pigeons are too heavily used as postal mascots... About that time, we were listening a lot of Meat Loaf with his albums "The Bat Out The Hell" and "The Bat Out The Hell II", so I think that this was the real cause to choose such a name :-) LG - What is the goal of your software? To make life easier :-) LG - How long/much do you work every day on TB? It depends on what do you mean by working on TB. We don't do only programming. A lot of time is spent supporting users via e-mail, so it can be from 8 to 20 hours :-) LG Do you have other jobs in addition to RIT Labs? No, we own RITLABS and we work here exclusively. LG - Do you have any corporate philosophy on your products? Yes. :-) The most important thing about our philosophy is that we always help each member of our company (or at least to not interfere) to unleash his potential and express himself. LG - How is RIT Labs structured? Currently, 6 people are working at RITLABS including Max and myself: 4 programmers and 2 administrators/managers/promoters/etc. We are not a usual enterprise - we are almost a team of enthusiasts/hobbyists who is also making some money out of what they do. :-) LG Who works there? People who like to make something good for mankind in relation to computers :-) The names are: Stef, Max, Sergey, Stas, Diman and Igor LG Is it an office type setting or do you do most of the work from LG home? We are working at an office, because it is the best place to work as a team and because we are trying to be a bit official :-) LG - Did you imagine that TB would be this successful? We were sure that any work that is done with care and love should be successful. LG - Do you have formal training in software Engineering? My University diploma states that I am a specialist in Computer Science, but I think I am a mathematician specialised on Graphs Theory. :-) Max has finished High School and soon went to professional programming. LG - Did you work for any software companies before you started this LG project? Yes. But it was too many years ago :-) LG - Do you have any statistics, e.g. which countries were most of these LG sold to? The Bat! is most popular in Germany and the US. LG - Are there many changes to the GUI? If so, do you have a couple of LG screenshots for us to see? The general concept will be absolute flexibility in interface customization. We will make screen shots later - when the program will be almost ready for Beta-testing. LG - v2.0 is rumored to have been built from the ground up (not from

LG Will you charge for it?
We will make the decision when The Bat! / Linux will be ready -
it's too difficult to set the price when nothing is done :-)
Hope that answered the question :D
