Thanks John. Following is my response to Etec earlier this today:


Martin:

Thanks for the speedy response.
You need to spread the word with Hank Fay and
members of the VFP community at www.levelextreme.com.

Regards,

Scott Ramey

Hank Fay, who has been one of the main community drivers, also formally warned them he could not proceed unless they resumed communication and met their promises: the lack of any response led to this and other threads indicating widespread loss of confidence.

Some of us have started phoning the company (if anybody speaks Spanish, feel free: from the US 011 502 2437-5934, ask for Salvador Davila) to report on the widespread bad press out there and loss of key people because Etec will not communicate. Yesterday this bore fruit: a promise was made that a status update would be forthcoming. We shall see. In the meantime Hank and influential others have started their own project and may prove difficult to lure back without some indication that things have changed in a big way.
