>> I sent the email from my university email address and the spam filter is clever enough to know that it shouldn't filter answers from email addresses I have sent an email to, even if the words "free" etc appear. If in doubt, at least it asks me. Anyway, I switched to D and don't regret it. Also how do you define "legit"? If I send an email with a simple question "do you offer a discount for university projects?" or the like, why am I not entitled to an answer? Why is it not "legit"? Because I didn't include an elaborate description of the project? Why should I, if I don't even know that you offer a discount? Would be a waste of time, if the answer is a plain "No!". This said, I don't rule it out that you answered the email and that it got lost on the way. This happens sometimes.

Fair enough, I've forwarded the email. But the code has been rewritten in D and works on all platforms natively (including Windows, if you want to call that a platform).

Thanks for the forward. That was back on Oct 12, 2010, and we did respond on the same day. I have replied to your Friday email a minute ago, posting here just in case it does not reach you again (sorry moderators.)
