Capesoft takes over ProDomus product line
Bruce also announced that CapeSoft has taken over the ProDomus line of Clarion Accessory Tools:
CapeSoft and ProDomus are pleased to announce that the ProDomus line of Clarion Accessory Tools has been successfully acquired by CapeSoft. The transition of all products into the CapeSoft stable will occur over the next few weeks.
As Phil enters semi-retirement this transfer means that existing users will have access to maintained builds and some support going forward. Phil will remain active on the support side for some time ensuring a smooth transition.
ProDomus has been making popular Clarion Accessories since the early days of Clarion for Windows, and has earned a reputation for both quality products and quality support and service. the flagship product, PD Translator Plus has long lead the way in application translation and is used by Clarion developers all over the world. It is fitting that as Phil heads towards a well-earned retirement his first consideration is for his existing customers and the developers that rely on his tools. Passing the baton on to CapeSoft ensures that their future is secure.
CapeSoft is already a premier Clarion Accessory supplier with over 40 accessories currently available. As an active participant in the community, and a reputation second to none, CapeSoft is the ideal home for the ProDomus products in the long term.
The current builds for all ProDomus tools have been archived at http://www.capesoft.com/prodomus and these files are available to download for existing ProDomus product users. Sales have been suspended until each product can be reviewed.
Regards
Geoff Thomson, CapeSoft
Phil Will, ProDomus
It will take some time to go through each of the products; status updates will be provided over time. Some products will be open sourced.
Phil is one of the very early Clarion for Windows third party vendors; he pioneered runtime text translation for Clarion apps.
CapeSoft does have the customer list but no decision has been made on upgrade costs. A support forum will be set up, and Phil will be around for a while to answer questions.
New webinars
There are two new webinars happening every week. The ClarionLive open webinar is each Wednesday from 8:00-9:30 a.m., and the NetTalk User Group webinar is each Thursday, alternating between 5 a.m. and 3 p.m. GMT start times.
There is a new calendar at clarionlive.wikispaces.com.

Mark Riffey chimed in with a comment about systematizing tasks. Andrew Flewelling mentioned the book Reality is Broken.
Clarion word of the day (at approx 44:00)
