If one were to come up with a patch to fix all of the issues with P5, would it be legal to market it? It may actually be quicker for me to browse over the code myself, diagnose the problems, and manually write out an installer. That is, of course, after I learn what the hell all of those funny looking letters mean.

I don't know if it would be legal, but you would gain my custom if you pulled it off. I haven't found many bugs that are more than mere annoyances in the current service release, but I could do without those annoyances....

Cage can be an opinionated jerk who posts without thinking. He apologizes for this. He's honestly not trying to be a turkeyhead.
Cage had some freebies, compatible with Poser 11 and below. His Python scripts were saved at archive.org, along with the rest of the Morphography site, where they were hosted.

lol ... as a software developer I would be interested in looking at their implementation. At least to clear up some memory issues ...heheh

Well, there's a guy in Australia who sells a 'lite' version of all the Microsoft systems. What he does is hacks into the M$ code and strips the OS down to the bare bones. He then sells his version, sans all the M$ junk. Pretty cheap too, IIRC. Whether he has some deal with Bill on this or not, I couldn't tell you. I sorta get the feeling that CL wouldn't be too happy if one of the users embarrassed them by fixing all their bugs. LOL. Why don't you ask them? Can but try..... mac

Yeh, everyone at CL was reduced to contractor status, so maybe they'd be willing to take you on as a contractor....

That's what I have been suggesting. If the Poser code was public, like the code of the Gnu projects is, then "many hands would make light work" of finding bugs and suggesting and implementing improvements.
