Ok. Just to be more open/clear I was asking from 2 different standpoints:

1) Protecting your interests - ROMOS interests me not only from a personal non-commercial perspective but also from a commercial perspective - thus I am keen to understand where you stand on both points. PM me if you want on this.

2) I am working some stuff commercially myself, thus also need to protect my own interests - hence I'm keen to find out what you are wanting to do etc.

That all said I am keen to strike the right balance and a lot of what I am currently doing is working to feed "back" into various projects in an open as possible way, make further useful connections etc. I certainly do not believe in passing off other peoples work as ones own and if I can help others out along the way then I will.

Ok, I'm familiar with Datalight (but not their actual software). Likewise I know of embedded DOS but not their software. So separate to these offerings, in an ideal situation for your needs what your ideal size for a shell and what's the basic functionality that you would need? I'm assuming your looking for something that is free as your own project is to be free, right?

Hehe.
