texte = As the CEO and President of the former PCS - I will clear this issue. Ken had no standing agreement. In fact, Ken had verbally agreed to stop using webdna.net and never did so. We at PCS also thought it wasn't worth pursuing...Ken did start the Typhoon documentation and some of the samples. Prior to the first release, we at PCS decided this was not the complete image we wanted and revised much of the work and retook ownership of the product. We did honor our verbal agreement with Ken and agreed that he could have all of that current version of Typhoon that he wanted for release and we did give him 50% of the sales of that $99 product for that year.On 4/25/03 9:40 AM, Phillip Bonesteele
