Yes Fleecy has sent me some mail. I have always got on fairly well with
Fleecy and of course I will talk to him but not having earnt any money for two
years does not attract us to spending longer in the wilderness on an unproven
mythology without external funds.
Coding for Windows? Well, yes and no. It's both interesting and
frustrating after coming from the Amiga. There are many things you can do
much easier then there are some things which are not well documented at all.
At the end of the day programming is what you make it and I am extremly
impressed with the power we have been able to build-in to the new Opus6
product. It has allowed us to expand on many concepts we started
on the Amiga and does far far more performance wise.
