Unfortunately, doing that "version" would force Ed into becoming another
Adobe-type corporation, with employees, payrolls, IP issues, lawyers, and so
forth ad nauseum. This is what some of us have been trying to say since we
met Vuescan and Ed--"Keep it simple. Please."
Ed may eventually get tired of our carping and sell out to AOL or somebody
for big bucks, to go enjoy the Good Life. Before he does, I hope he'll
notify his faithful old customers, so we can get one last full copy of the
"Unmitigated Vuescan." :-)
Best regards--LRA
