- The reaction when I asked Europress about the omission of STOS and AMOS
- on the page outlining the company's history really says it all: 'We don't
- see any reason to put the names of those programs there -- why don't you
- switch to something like Klick'n'Play if you want support?'
-
- Muhaha. That load of junk? (I wonder how much money they made with all
- copies of STOS, AMOS and the extensions like 3D, compilers, and so on. Man-
- darin and Europress would be absolutely nowhere if it wasn't for these two.)
-
- I know it's been asked before here, but what happened to all the guys of
- the first hour? Francois? The Fothergills? Richard Vanner? Peter Hickman?
- Sandra Sharkey?

- I guess asking Europress to do so can't hurt. At least your stuff is 'legal'
- then :-).
