Bob and Sheldon: I'm just trying to save you from any more heartbreak. Here is a scenario that would scream, SELL! Microsoft announces that Windows 2000 will be BioAPI compatible. (Microsoft is part of the BioAPI development alliance, so this is certainly a possibility.) That means either (1) that all the SAF software won't run on next-generation MSFT operating systems (either at all or not without major revisions) or (2) it will be much easier in the upcoming development cycle to write applications to a BioAPI standard than the HAAPI standard in Windows 2000. Either way, that means no one will develop applications using HAAPI, and the market for HAAPI-compatible software (i.e., NRID's present inventory) disappears, rendering the inventory worthless, since cross-media applications need a common API, and that will be BioAPI. And since this HAAPI-based software is NRID's only asset . . . SELL.
