Suggest enhancements. If you want them done immediately, the only way that could be done would be to freeJohn's billable commitments - and that means paying him. If you want them done, and he's not interested in doing them, they won't get done. It's his effort and donation, and his priorities do not have to match yours.

Look, bottom line. John's first obligation is to feed house and cloth his family. Hopefully, up in the same general region, is growing eSolutions Services is a mjor goal. Somewhat further down is aiding the on-line VFP community. Somewhere in the strata at that level would be the enhancements you'd like to see. If that ever becomes important and John or other members of eSolutions Systems want to work on it, and it's a problem with FRX2WORD and not GenRepoX, we might look at it.
Reality check time. You plan to make money off of John's work and aren't willing to pay him to make changes that would let you do that. Something doesn't work in this hierarchy.
You might want to consider adding me to your twit filter, since I may at times be speaking on issues for eSolutions Services, and my belief that shareware doesn't work, and that we set the goals for what we decide to donate to the VFP community is immoral and unpalatable.
