Registered users who were enrolled on the PC64 mailing list have been asked: Should the sources of PC64Dos and PC64Win be published? 22 yes 1 yes, in 2-3 months 1 yes, in 6 months 5 don't care 2 for registered users only 4 to a personal successor only 2 no Should a License.dat be made available to the public? 12 yes 1 yes, in 2-3 months 1 joysticks only, no transfer 5 don't care 5 well, if it's necessary 8 no Together that's 64% for YES, and 36% for NO. My conclusion: In order to protect the registered users, there won't be an official License.dat available for free. But the sources will be published at ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/cbm/emulation/pc64 in four months, on 1st of October, 1997. Marko will then drop a note in comp.emulators.cbm. Together with PC64 I'm also putting an end to almost ten years of being online. The e-mail addresses pc64@compuserve.com and 100112.220@compuserve.com will become invalid on 14-Jun-1997. Finally I would like to thank everyone who contributed to the development of PC64. Some folks may wonder why there are still many attached to those old games. Well, in my opinion the first computer can be compared with the first love: The older you get, the better become the memories... -------------------==== Posted via Deja News ====----------------------- http://www.dejanews.com/ Search, Read, Post to Usenet
