Well put James. And what I am trying to stress is that perhaps each
developer doesn't have to write something entirely new. It's possible that
some of the Visual Basic plug-in developers might be interested in licensing
their source (in much the same way that the game companies do) to a
REALbasic plug-in developer since they have nothing to lose. They can only
make more money from royalties. I'm not suggesting that they would all feel
it's worth it. Perhaps only a few would. But it allows a RB plug-in
developer to get a product that is already proven in the VB market, to the
RB market faster.
