Not in the first version. The first version, or alpha/beta's are really getting the various parts of the routines to work. Once that is done, the extra features can be added in. I'm trying to make sure each "function" is stand-alone, callable, and can be used by any routine at any time.

>> 2) image upload by your own machine i see is avaliable, what about from the web.

I'm not sure what you mean? But, LWP is installed if you are running Links (most likely) and grabbing files from one machine to the next can be done with that.

Well.... <G> I'm really not looking at this program as a site-hijacking program. I'm not sure I'll be building this in just this way, but I probably will eventually try to add some point/click uploading/moving to some sections.

The $125 price is basically a "give back" to the current links community, and those who are willing to suffer with the bugs and early limited releases to give feedback. It's a full license, with unlimited upgrades. Once the program is released, in order to avoid long-range problems, we are limiting the "free" upgrades to the next version. It's simple, it's clean, and that way people get all the releases for whatever version they are running. Major versions will look as different as Links 1.1x and 2.x <G> Think of it as a "Charter License" vs the "user license" <G>

Also, the program will change drastically in the first few releases, as bugs, and new ways of doing things will become evident. I don't feel right charging a full price until the program is in 'production' mode. So, the $125 price is half the anticipated price, and 1/2 to 1/8th what others are charging for similar systems -- and no additional upgrade costs.

I know it's sort of unclear, but this is moving so fast, I haven't had time to do any of the promotional/feature type docs or messages. I'm more concerned with getting the code working ASAP. I should be adding in the "user" data and log-in checking tonight. Uploads are going good :)
