i havent released any code myself but that is because the code i worked on
belonged to the company...  there are several pieces of code that im very
happy with and wish i could release... :)

if you want to make money you should make a screensaver library that others
can stick into their code... librarys are almost always copywrited...

since this is your first program i understand your reasoning for not
releasing the code... i wouldnt release my first program either...

BUT..  i know that by the time you make the second or third screensaver you
will want to release the code for the first one....

please note that the code i was proud of a year ago im not proud of right
now.... we all learn.

just try to remember that that a persons first program teachs other people a
lot, especialy if the other person hasnt writen any programs themself yet.

also.... if you are intrested in source code for free... goto
sourceforge.net

i help develop a few open source progects... open source means you can
download the work in progress and all the past releases...
