To the good people of netland,
Sometimes the answers to questions change over time. Specifically, the
status of GDOS changed from the time of the original postings to the current
status, regarding the method of distribution. I apologize for this. I hope
you will bear with me. Usually if I suspect that a situation like this may
occur, I keep my mouth shut until the final decision is reached. But
perfection has not yet been reached. So if you see conflicting reports
emanating from me, the reason is that TPTB changed their minds. Try not to
shoot the messenger.
Regarding specific questions directed at me that have gone unanswered, you
may suspect that the answer is not yet available. I would prefer not to
clutter up the net with "no comment" replies.
Regarding technical questions coming my way, please note that I am not
currently working as a fulltime programmer, I am the Marketing
Communications guy here (i.e. support, PR, etc.). I do some programming on
the side, and there are questions of this nature I can solve directly, but
when you get beyond my experience I punt the question up to folks like
Landon Dyer and let them answer if they can.
Finally, when situations arise that fall into the "tempest in a teapot"
category, like the BREAKOUT.ACC story and, to some extent, the GDOS flap, I
tend to let you vent steam rather than sit and answer a hundred messages.
