kaom,

No I can't make a c2 plug-in work in C3, but I could create something new. Someone asked me to create something that did the same thing as Thor, however it's probably not something I'd do. Converting a primitive plug-in from C2 to C3 is a half hour job, tops. If Zenstar hasn't done it, it's probably because it just doesn't sell anymore or it's more hassle than it's worth to process the upgrade for the existing customers.

I wouldn't build a new different lightning plug-in because if Zenstar wanted to, they could recompile Thor, release it and there goes the market. I would have wasted all that research and coding time when I could have used it improving one my existing products or coming up with something completely new. If you folks are really interested in seeing one in C3, bugging Zenstar to convert it is probably the best bet.
