Sure thing. I could imagine some 'shadow' organization trying to pull it
off - of course it'd cost $150 upon release... he he..
I really doubt Eurpress gives 2 cr*ps about AMOS anymore. However, I see
your perspective.

Well, the development team should release updates to the regular amos
list, if you ask me, or separate list of beta testers/suggestion
makers. to have a core list for programmers is important too - so they
can interact without too much interference or input until and when they
want it. But yes I see what you are saying...
