Mine too. Betsol so far has proved themselves to be a bunch of losers 
who despite the promises, have not delivered one word of code in any 
language.

As a user of 20 years, I hate to see a good project wither away from a 
total lack of interest on the part of the owners, so it puzzles me no 
end why they even bought it in the first place.

My original idea was, and still is to fork it.

We already have about 6 months worth of 4.0-alpha, many of which worked, 
I've tested them.  That might be a good starting point for a fork. 

Here's what I have ATM.

AIR 4759 worked, using 3.3.7p1 clients. I do not recall if 4761 or 5199 
did. But there's your src to fork it.

If there is any interest by this group to build it and try it, I'll make 
them visible on my web page. Start a new github entry as amanda-4-alpha.

Do they even exist?
