I voted for catobase2006.... I would not vote for the anderson utilities for one reason - if he went the route of Jeff Cato and Joe Simpson then we would be SOL, AGAIN! He will release bits...not good enough... nothing he is doing is rocket science and can be duplicated and put into a public project where others could improve, modify or redistribute it in a completely different manner.... I will pass on this and just wait for the new version and access the data myself..... If he released just hooks into his program the problem would be who would support the add ins when something goes wrong. The second programmer only has a hook not the source.... not a good idea.
I understand fully Larry's view on his source code, he did put a lot of hours into his project. But then so did Jeff Cato and he skipped. Not saying Larry will, just saying it could happen.... Now if Anderson Utilities was a program that he was selling then I could see not releasing anything, other wise open it up and let anyone and everyone improve on a good idea......
I would love to see the project go well as open source. Then others can improve for their own use or add to the project - great idea.....
Just my opinion.
