Hi!
Just an info:
I wanted to try SPIN (beta) and got this email back (you have to register):
"At this moment we have temporarily removed the beta version of SPIN. Please
wait for the next version. You will receive an email on how to download this
version, when this version is online."
BTW: Skipper (for NewDEAL Office) looks very nice. It is the best GUI for
DOS
if you never want to use Win or Linux!
But i have no internet access in DOS, else I would have tested it!
Bye, Florian
