Nothing is for sale so this is confusing to some. The software is 100% pure dynamic Ruby. It has been the project of passion, but the total focus of a 3 year project. The author of this package was involved some of the best minds of the software industry from 1974 or so 1995. His software was sold around the world, blablabla Mr R. Davis has all this, as references and such were sent. He prefers rather to present an event that was strange. It involved being on an Island without a hotel or motel, snow shows, snow storms and people like Mr Davis would seem to be. One favorite example of Not Listening to Experts: The year was 1976, the machine was a HeathKit H8. The EXPERTS were programmers at Milwaukee Banks. The Experts considered the specs of the machine and TOLD the author, no hesitation, into the eyes... that the machine "could be useful for anything". Two months later the author was producing Quality Audit Reports for the MetaMold division of Dayton Malleable. The author was their quality control manager. The technique being used is not that easy to understand but nothing is that difficult either. No magic. But not trivial. In a sweet spot somewhere in between. The technique makes no sense at all to do the basic things that I have it doing. And that is confusing but true. What is much more interesting is that only two things much happen for the system to evolve: 1. Small program units are added to the system 2. HelperClasses must be maintained and added to. The small programming units could be distributed. The small programming units can be "generated" by a web-app by way of something the author calls an "Expert Session". That's it but, that is not it also because many things could be done, and an exciting future awaits. And if that future is named something else, it will not be for lack of my trying to communicate about it.
