Nigel, I’m using MailList King and it’s amazing. Haven’t even dropped thru the rabbit hole with it yet and just the preliminary mail functions are sweet! Good job, sir!

So, while investigating the purchase of MLK, it found your freebee Text Lightning. Kind of looks like it was developed for sale but doesn’t require a key to use. Will this continue to be free? I want to use it and I’m wondering if the data file it uses, can be placed on a network share and support multiple users all grabbing their text templates from the same place? I can figure out how to move the files to an appropriate share using options, but wondered it you’ve tested it for shared usage.

Hope all is good!

Thanks Kim

It is likely to be free for as long as I can foresee (not much money in that niche).

Database sharing is not officially supported. It may be possible to hack it to get it to work (change the database path in the registry), but we have not tested that. Also, it would need to be a fast file share because the database is regularly accessed.

You'd be better to have one machine being the source, and use an automated copying script to propagate that database to other systems (once a day, for example).
