This is all very interesting. We're going to pester Corel again (we're being rather incessant about it) and see what gives. Meanwhile, we're looking for angel or venture funding to make a more generous offer for Bryce. It will be very hard to sell venture capital on investing in Bryce, as "prosumer" software sales have been way down for some years now, and not the kind of potential money-maker that VCs are looking for, as a rule. The fact that MojoWorld sales have been steadily growing is a smashing success, in the current market. (Witness Curious Labs, for instance.) -Mo PS- Stpen Ray: now is a great time to invest in Pandromeda. >;^)
