I do have some programming under my belt C++ with a little Windowdoze a couple years in college and I dont understand the logic behind having to buy out Bryce if you had to dump all the code to start anew! In object oriented coding everything is modular, meaning you can start with variables that can be transferred to other subroutines that can manipulate those variables to give you something else and not touch the original variables, thats the main purpose of object oriented programming, unlike Basic where its a linear translation. Every programming department can work on their own subroutine in the program later to be interfaced or interfaced and updated as the program goes along. Like when using plug-ins or modifying a square into a jet fighter. Every sub step is a subroutine, thus building an undo history. Having to start all over with the Bryce code means having spent all that money to buy the original was for naught! All they needed to do was give it a different name unless they felt keeping the name was worth the expense.
