Im definately interested in it, with my only Sam locked up in a box .. and with little chance of using it really - to be able to mess aroudn with something in the middle of doing *real* work on my PC, will mean I might actually do something ...which is far less likely to happen if I have to rig the whole thing back up and scuttle off to another room. Licenses: What is/was all the fuss about? Besides, if arguing over the licences means that nothing gets released it doesnt make any sense... If no one can agree how its to be released, well, just do it... people always find something else to winge about eventually ;) Emulator: The Sam needs one - no one (well, not *many* people!) are going to shell out for a new Sam... its a small scene and its only going to shrink - unless you get more people involved & thats only going to happen if they can get involved without forking out money. So, er, yay for emulation. > If people are happy playing with unfinished, potentially buggy test > versions, I don't mind making them available as new features are added.

Well... it/youve got my support anyhow... it'd be good to see some new developments. If you could release "stable" versions every now and then and "development" versions through that, people who want a workable version can get what they want, ans do can people who want to see how its coming along... This place just needs some action :)... We've gotr Edwin's diskimage manager... might as well have WinCoupe doing something too!! :) fitz -- Email:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ#11077801
