FOP swf file is not opensource, noone seams to complain about that, I am<br>sure if you make a sizable donation to Thorben he'd be willing to share.<br>But why should he give away hundreds of hours of work he invested into
<br>applications he provides to us all for free?<br>If you think it's flawed, suggest improvements. If you dont like the app<br>dont use it or write your own...<br><br>Cheers<br>Danny<br><br>smbPBX wrote:<br>> Matt:<br>
