Re: Who Owns Source Code When a Company Folds?

["Chris Madsen" cmadsen@xxxxxxxx]

TTG declared bankruptcy. The source code is still owned by Kenny Frank. He
sold the desktop product as-is to a group based in Texas that is planning a
release of Wealth Transfer Planning, which is SmartWords with a custom
module to do estate planning laid over. You can still use SW as you would
use Xywrite, but the code is over 2 years old at this point, and still 16
bit. The group in Texas does not plan to move to 32-bit; in fact, they plan
to eventually move away from SW entirely. Their interest is in the estate
planning stuff.
