I am VERY interested in the "inner" workings of BLITZFONTS.
I would be very interested in getting the source code to this
piece of coding. If this is possible (me getting the source)
will someone who has information send me some info about it.
(or send me the source ]if you have it)
I hope to hear from YOU soon !!

You could try getting it from Hayes Haugen, the author, but he apparently is no longer supporting his shareware. He cashed my check and forgot about me, and apparently tossed my subsequent letters in the trash. I've heard of other people having problems with this guy, too. I detect a trend here. The bottom line is, I think you're out of luck. I definitely wouldn't recommend sending any money to this jerk in hopes of getting it from him. You wouldn't even get the binaries, let alone the sources. > Rachell Feury > > jtaylor@g.ms.uky.edu > Eric Kennedy

A Modula-2 version of WarpText (by Leon Frenkel) and the ARCed source (by Bill Kelley, Assembly) exist on one of the Benchmark sample source disks.A Good Luck, Wade.

This is the first time on the net that I've heard of a sharware author not supporting his product. I feel that sharware is important in providing lowcost software for the Amiga community and this ripoff is sad. Question: Does anyone else know of sharware authors who are ripping us off? -- -- Rich Commins (415)939-2400 \ /\ Varian Instruments, 2700 Mitchell Drive, Walnut Creek, CA 94598 \/--\ {ptsfa,lll-crg,zehntel,dual,amd,fortune,ista,rtech,csi,normac}varian!richc
