As the marketing weasels would say, "But what are you willing to pay for it?"
Economics rule my world these days, and Jon's Commands ain't paying the bills.
Any chance you might make the osax open source? Maybe you could
launch an open source movement among osax developers. I'd contribute
(which isn't saying much since I don't have anything worth
sharing...). A CVS repository of osax source code (assuming I
understand correctly what such a thing is, novice that I am) would
allow many people to contribute to the development of a single osax
and would maybe relieve the progenitor of a Classic osax from the
some of the effort of porting it to OS X.
Hope I'm not out of line here, asking you to open source something
you've worked very hard on...
Neal.
