I don't release the names of any programmer that has worked on an
unreleased package.  That's up to the programmer to disclose.  I do this
entirely for the privacy of the programmer.  I did refer to the original
programmers at Styleware, but I also called them that.  If someone were
to ask me how Bill did on the job, I would say he did well.

Hindsight is 50/50.  But I can tell you that if we realized the a
complete rewrite was needed the outcome would not have changed.  The
projected sales would not even cover the develpoment cost of so large an
undertaking.  It's a cold, hard, calculated business decision that I
hope you can understand.  For those who know me out there, I'll say it
like it is and not hold back any secrets unless it's out of courtesy for
those who worked with us or were offered to work with us, and those who
are our customers.
