So that sluggish thing running on some small computer was actually fMSX, not ASCII's original after all. Actually, I thought so, since I douted Goripon/Miyashita (mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]), who is known as responsible developer for "ASCII-official emulator" had skill to develop a new MSX by his own. My guess was right.
Beside, I would like to whisper here that Marat did not give proper permission to ASCII/Nishi/anyone else. Actually, one of the ASCII accountants misunderstood his word. Therefore, Nishi's word "we have license" is wrong (ask Marat if you are curious). I personally felt disdainful on the fact that ASCII, with thousands of employees and thousands of professional they can ask, decided to steal codes from Marat, a mundane ex-MSX user. This is nothing unlike personal hey-you-copied-mine riffraff. Note Goripon/Miyashita is not an ASCII employee. Takamichi -- For info, see http://www.stack.nl/~wynke/MSX/listinfo.html
