hehe, ye, BIG surprise. Playfield still exists, but I don't think at
the same address (on neither the Web or geographcially), and I don't
think that the old phone numbers work.
The guy from Playfield who was into AMOS and helped with Turbo Plus
was Ryan Scott, who has actually turned Playfield from a successful
AMOS mag (which I don't think exists any longer) into a couple of Web
pages on his Web site. He now runs a Web designing and consulting
business with a couple of other people. Do a Yahoo! search on him,
and you're sure to find something (I can always get the URL to you).

Well, I own the latest version of Turbo (2.0), as I managed to secure
a copy of it with photo-copies of the manual from a faithful List
supplier (Chris Evans, who's no longer on the List). I could scan the
pages (I WONT type them up) and send them to you via email, but most
assuredly majority of them wont work since you have the demo version.
I could also send you copies of the disks (snail mail or e-mail
.DMS), but I may have to charge you a small bit for them (if sent
snail mail) to cover shipping, etc. (And any type of legal stuff.)
> Is Turbo still being developed by anyone?
I'm not sure. To my knowledge, not at the moment.
Intuition (n): an uncanny sixth sense which tells
people that they are right, whether they are or not.
