Now scidvspc is a separate open source project, with his happy users (like you, if i understand correctly) and all will be good. But now, for no reason i can understand, Steve (with Alex complicity) is trying to delete the 4 years of code that people contributed to scid and Steven didn't liked. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE, expecially considering that this is a GPL project, you don't kill and delete concurrent projects to force people to use your program. As i have already said neither Alex neither Steven has the right to do this and I WILL NOT ALLOW THIS (i'll report the issue to sourceforge and free software foundation if i have to). I hope i'm clear and there are no misunderstandings. Bye, Fulvio ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone hates slow websites. So do we.
