PanoTools:
RE: PanoTools Funding Options

Howard,
If I'm not mistaken the IVRPA is a subscription based group. The PanoTools
group has been supported by donations from it's members to cover the hard
costs of maintaining the group. With members like Kevin, Bruno, Erik and
Bert, the group resources have matured into a something we all can be proud
of. The current method of donations to keep the lights on has worked in the
past and I hope to continue without outside influence. (commercial funding)
