What is the policy concerning distributing AmigaDOS V1.2? I asked for a
copy at my local dealer a few weeks ago and they said they were
instructed not to give it out. OK I thought, I probably have to wait 'till
they are more widely available -- shipped out to the developers. Well,
they're out there but the shop still refuses to give me a copy. They
say I have to wait 'till August (!) when it will be "officially"
available. Is this Commodore-Amiga policy? Do I have to bribe my (for
now) dealer? Try another? Or wait till August(!)?
Thanks,
joe piazza
BTW: Anyone have problems with Online!'s vt-100 emulation and opening
new lines in vi? Fixes?

We are getting enough grief because our so-called Beta release is buggier than a "traditional" Beta; we don't need to alienate the consumers with software under construction. >OK I thought, I probably have to wait 'till >they are more widely available -- shipped out to the developers.

Do I have to bribe my (for >now) dealer? Try another? Or wait till August(!)? Wait until ... August(?). One factor we are sensitive to is that forth- coming software and (especially) hardware products from third parties require 1.2. In the meantime (...) the only real benefit of 1.2 is that it is more bitchin'. Seriously, if you want in on pre-releases you should try to become a certified developer. >Thanks, > joe piazza
