Hello Carol and thank you for being curious and ambitious enough to reach out to him. I too have limitedly had contact with him (Oct 2010) via email and the impression I got then was that he wasn't going any further with it for the time being. His remark was that it was very "buggy" and had plans to rewrite it. Offered his idea to anyone who could use it.
So hopefully your contact rekindles his flame. I was duly impressed with the program, then and now.
Did he indicate a current interest in continuing to refine his program? Or releasing it?
