Hello - I'm the author of Eucalyptus (and director of the one-man company that now sells it).  I lurk here, but haven't posted much in the past (perhaps not at all - I don't quite recall).

Reading this, I just wanted to preempt concerns before a reply comes that we haven't paid royalties yet.  That's true, but only because the royalty agreement states that they can be paid at tax payment time, and that hasn't happened for us (based in the UK) since it's been on sale.

Rest assured that the royalties /are/ all accounted for here, and will most certainly be paid when the time comes.  Project Gutenberg is a great resource - my app couldn't have been made without it - and it's well worth the support.

Jamie.
