I understand that pricing varies.  But I am about to cut a deal for a program
that I am writing and I would appreciate if people could tell me what they is
a standard or reasonable percentage of gross profits that one should get for
writing the software.  In this case, we are writing software where the
intellectual content is done by a medical professional.  So much of the
selling point of the program is based on the doctor's expertise.  Not just the
quality of our programming.  So this, I would assume, lessens the amount that
we can expect to get for royalties.  I estimate the program will take us about
50-60 hours to write.  So could people write me at my E-Mail address and
suggest percentages of gross profits that seem reasonable.  Thanks in advance,
Josh.

P.S. Please respond to my E-Mail account if possible.

That means that it should actually take 100-120 hours to write (;-)

Mike, but you forgot to add the other 100-120 hours that it will take to
make revisions and document the program :-)
