>Sounds like you need a new boss. Seriously, seek employment elsewhere. How can a company that manufactures and markets software be unwilling to pay for software. Why don't you suggest to your boss that he sticks to his guns and releases TripSoft to the public domain?

It's not a good time for me to leave right now. We're planning on building a house this spring. Even if it was a good time personally, it wouldn't be good for the company for me to leave now. I wrote the entire program from scratch and it's just about ready to beta test. Having my coworker take over now would really set them back.

Tripsoft in the public domain? Hah... That'll never happen. I can't even convince them to lower the price to $10k-$20k to hit smaller companies since it's not selling to the bigger ones.
