Barr is one of the people I can count on one hand, that I would do anything for,
at any time, without question. It is devastating to imagine his treasure
trove of proprietary intelectual property and information might be or has been
compromised. I would hope that all filePro developers read this
carefully. It is the first time I'm hearing about it.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

you please post the following to the filepro list?<BR><BR>Attention filepro
developers. <BR>Toga County, Pennsylvania, our customer since 1995, has decided
to switch from us and filepro to a competitor. That is their right and we have
offered to extract their data from our complex system at a reasonable time and
materials rate.<BR><BR>They abandoned an in-house reassessment in 2008 (that we
provided support to) and used us for unjustified political cover. Now they
desire to sever the relationship.<BR><BR>Unfortunately they have chosen to break
our license and copyright agreements and search for a third party filepro
developer to assist them in delivering our entire software design and
proprietary data to our competitor. <BR><BR>They are apparently hoping to avoid
having to pay over $40,000 in contractual, overdue license and support
payments.<BR><BR>We will be taking serious action against the county and anyone
assisting in this clear theft of our intellectual property. With a complete
clone of our data design and system (even if excluding processing tables), this
new out-of-state competitor can build on what we have spent over 25 years
customizing. Obviously the damage to us would be substantial.<BR><BR>Feel free
to email or call me for further information or to alert us of contact from
Tioga.<BR><BR>Tim Barr, CTO<BR>21st Century Appraisals,
