Hello,

The Musclecard applet will definitely not be proprietary. This is the
point of this applet is to work across multiple vendor cards and on
several operating systems. I currently have a Card Management Application
running on Windows 2000, Solaris, Linux, HP-UX, and OSX that works on the
Musclecard. It's very powerful, and very delicate right now. If I
released the sources right now there would be hundreds of variations of
this applet, which I want to avoid. There will be an appropriate time to
release the sources. You will notice a strange licensing scheme on the
applet. I want to promote interoperability at the card level - this has
been my goal now for 4 years and myself and others have spent months on
this, but I do want to avoid either many versions of this in circulation,
or the possibility of it being promoted by a single corporation, thus
losing its 3rd party nature.

Sorry about the powerpoint presentation. I've run out of fake handles to
use on adobe.com's trial powerpoint->pdf conversion.

Please feel free to contact me in person if you want to discuss more, or
you can call me: 765-532-6006 is my cell. The best I can sy is not to be
nervous. This will be open.

Best Regards,
Dave
