Hey, Johannes- what ever happened with Tree Designer? Are any new versions
slated for release, or is it to stay in the somewhat perpetual, sPatch like
stasis that it has been in ever since release 1?Is there not enough
consumer demand? If so, would you ponder releasing it as freeware(maybe
even open source?)?

TIA,
Alex Magidow
