Quote - Perhaps you could post a link to the official Daz statement saying that they've stopped the development of Bryce, you seem to have access to some concrete evidence that the rest us here have yet to see.

Well then open your eyes.  The link is the given me in the fifth post from dan about Bryce update.  I believe the post I quoted is the very first one so you shouldn't have to look too hard.  All the information I have been given has come from this forum, this thread.  Thanks all for the information it makes my decision to continue with Bryce so much easier.
