Hi, Ken,
It's a bit of a conundrum. The free version is buggy and inaccessible
so, we are reluctant to use it. The paid version is well, ...
expensive. Noone will want to shell out money for the paid version of
a free software they couldn't access because of the fear of buying
something they won't be able ot use. The ideal thing would be for
someone who is enrolled in a college or university and thus able to
download the full version for free to have a nice, thorough lok at it,
script it and then share or sell the scripts. I'd pay for scripts if
I was sure they would work.
