>>>If you folks are talking about Vladimir's resize class.......he will kindly send the source code if asked. I use it as part of my framework and it saved me a bundle of time. I couldn't use it without the source for outside reasons. Works quite nicely.....and yes, I did do some modifications to the source. I did offer payment for the source code....which he could not accept do to monetary situations in his country. I did however work out a solution with him. You might ask him what that was, it was a past topic of a thread here.

>>I also looked at Vlad's class. Very nice. There is also another version from Gary Paul (asizesw.exe) that is also very nice. It seems to me in reading this thread that some people would have the nerve to complain about something that is free. And they begrudge a programmer a few bucks for the source.

>Just my $.02 worth, but I WOULD be willing to pay for stuff like this.. I can understand why the author did NOT include the source code.. People are NOT always as nice as they seem and will abuse any act of kindness you give. I for one am GLAD there are people out there willing to give back to the community in this way (with tools like this and GenmenuX).. And if there is a small cost involved, so what.. Remember there is NO such thing as a free lunch..

>I am sorry that Gene does NOT want to look at this without seeing the source code, it's HIS loss for NOT trying to ask the author for this stuff..

I totally agree with you. I hope you did not think I was criticizing you or Steve Despres. I apologize if my note was not clear. I also would not include source code in any free distribution. As the saying goes "Why buy the cow when milk is free." And on the other side I would not use "tools" from individuals in any critical application without the source.
