Regarding a recent message on [netconnect] AmiTCP 4 (was Re: Re: All these "new
versions")...
�
� There are so many incorrect issues in such as small 'statement'
� (that I overlooked originally).
�
� 1. AmiTCP 4 is absolutely and utterly dead. AmiTCP 4 was *replaced*
� by Genesis in 1997, both agreed by NSDi and Active Technologies.
� Indeed, the kernel supplied with Genesis is a few revisions newer
� than the (now defunct) AmiTCP 4 kernel.
I never claimed AmiTCP 4 was still in development, if you open your
damn lazy eyes I stated "original AmiTCP 4". Just because development
has stopped on a product* DOES NOT MEAN IT STOPS WORKING!*
� 2. You cannot buy/register nor gain any support for AmiTCP 4, as it
� is discontinued. Indeed, AmiTCP 4 was (or should have been) removed
� from the Aminet due to point 1).
Well I was unaware that it should be removed from AMinet, but it is
still available on Aminet CDs anyway. But you seem to be getting
these points from out of the clouds, I never claimed you could
register or gain support for AmiTCP? Did I, eh?
� 3. Genesis is *not* a 'front end to AmiTCP'. We re-wrote a number of
� AmiTCP components and *integrated* them within Genesis - for
� instance, the old AmiTCP 4 based AREXX dialer interface was
� completely re-written in C and integrated into Genesis. The Genesis
� dialer is the replacement for this.
Genesis took the original AMiTCP code and added a modern interface to
its functions. And slapped some new code in to and probably further
developed it. BTW people, this is not offical just what I am
assuming.
� The usergroup and password issues were moved to 'genesis.library'
� and, thus, other programs (Microdot-II, Contact Manager etc) were
� able to support this new multiple user support.
How nice.
� To enable to do these revisions, on such as low level, NSDi supplied
� us with the AmiTCP 4 source code, which is another reason why
� Genesis is simply not a 'front end' to AmiTCP 4.
�
�
� Personally I don't know how you could have written so many incorrect
� statements within a few lines. I am certainly not happy.
Crawl back into your class room Chris. I personally don't know how
you managed to spread out a simple statment into a complete mail full
of derived junk.
Regardz,
