- First you'd need to find a developer stupid enough to hand out their
- source code. Then you'd need to convince NewTek to open their arms
- to all comers and expend their precious time compiling and debugging
- *other people's products* for all LW platforms. Would you rather have
- technical support from NewTek, or would you like them to pay their
- workers to develop other people's products for them, or would you like
- to have your cake and eat it, too?
-
- Even Commodore and Apple weren't stupid enough to do that. :-)
