VText Press ReleaseVText Press Release22 December 1997 -- In conjunction with the immediate availability of its CWPro 2 update for its VText library ViviStar Consulting announced an even more relaxed source distribution policy.
VText is an incredibly flexible and versatile C++ add-on library for Metrowerks' PowerPlant application framework. VText provides complete Macintosh text support including: greater than 32kb text, tabs, rulersets, undo, drag and drop editing, AppleEvent scripting and recordability, full support for multibyte characters and inline input methods including Japanese and Chinese text, and full support for bidirectional script systems including Arabic and Hebrew.
The new relaxed distribution policies include: immediate source downloads for evaluation purposes; shareware, freeware, and student authors not needing to pay the normal licensing fee until their gross revenue from their VText projects reaches a value ten times that of the normal licensing fee or unless they desire technical support. Commercial developers are still required to purchase VText developer license(s) once they have decided to adopt VText.
The VText library is priced at $350 per developer seat. The license includes royalty-free binary redistribution when linked with developer applications with appropriate reference in the application's about box. Site licensing is available directly from ViviStar Consulting.
