Hi Steven,

Thanks for taking to time to explain it.
Makes a lot more sense.

Can I ask you questions regarding coding tdm vs rtas.
As I said above- it was explained to me that the different programming languages accounted for the cost.
How are you doing the core development?
In what language?
When creating the TDM plugin- I assume this is assembly- correct?
Are you using C++ for RTAS?
How do you go about converting from TDM to RTAS- or does it not work like that?

Jim
