[...] Se brevettassi il pigreco invece che il tortellino potrei ottenere royalty da chiunque voglia pensare o produrre oggetti circolari. [...]

Interessante questo articolo scritto da un mio professore dell'università a proposito dei brevetti software, che pare siano tornati in agenda presso la Comunità Europea...

First of all, I'd like to thank everyone who replied to my previous post or on the mailing list for their support.

I still haven't made up my mind about MP3 Cat's future. I guess I'll try the shareware way and see how it goes.

Anyway, while I'm thinking about it, I've started porting its code to .NET 2.0: I used to like C++ Builder a lot, but nowadays it starts to give in to its old age (considering I'm still using version 3, first released in 1998!).

Using C# and the .NET framework will allow me to focus more on the features I'd like to put in MP3 Cat and less on trying to find workarounds to make C++ Builder compile what I need ;-)

Don't expect a new version tomorrow, but you can prepare yourself for it by installing .NET 2.0 anyway :-)
