I have a new concern and am awaiting clarification from Androme. (parent co)
Apparently, after installing the software, launching it creates a .ctp file that uses your computer's identifier (your user name) as the file name! Now, I know that GIF animators can type whatever they want re- copyright or byline credits in a "Trailing Comments" box; but this kind of automatic identification is worrisome if it is also stamped on the Creatoon itself somehow.

This reminds me of when I first realized (15 years ago??) that the morons at Microsoft set the Word, Excel, et al defaults to append registered info to the Document Properties (meaning if you send a doc or xls file to someone, they can see your registered name and other personal information unless you take the time to delete it!)

If anyone builds a Creatoon, please let us know if it contains any personal info read off your computer. I'll let y'all know if Androme responds.

I swear this software was given for free years ago due to the same reasons mentioned in post 1.

After viewing the sample "creatoon" - Huff&Puff, we should ask BubbyCo to produce a "toon" for the Game of the Day comments page to demonstrate how reading the README file before installing software helps prevent forest fires, unintended pregnancies and premature pattern baldness.

K8, I scooped ya by a few hours with my note to Funky, but your news flash will give the software a whole lot more attention.

Due to a recent management decision, Androme N.V. decided to discontinue further developments to update CreaToon. Therefore, CreaToon is now available for FREE!
