Macworld (April 87) ran an article extolling the virtues of RR version 10.0. Has the ymodem protocol, among other improvements. Question -- where is version 10 to be found? I tried Compuserve and a few bbs's but no luck. I'd like to try the new version before I send the shareware fee. Saw a message thread on a bbs that said that after this month, Red Ryder Host (usually a freebie for registered users) was going to only be available as a separate (commercial) product. Anyone care to shed any light on this subject. Please reply by email and I'll post what info that I receive. Also, thanks to those who pointed out my mistake in blaming the ram when I should have blamed software that was designed contrary to standards. (Space War! in particular).

Scott Watson is still working on 10.0, and it won't be out until sometime around the end of the month if current schedules hold. They wrote the article based on an extremely old and inaccurate interview (which Watson was supposed to have final approval of, and which they neglected to do), and made a number of basic inaccuracies. A very early not-quite-beta went out to some user group for testing and has been distributed a number of places, but it is buggy as hell and they weren't supposed to do it. As far as I know, 10.0 will still be shareware. Chuq Von Rospach chuq@sun.COM [I don't read flames] There is no statute of limitations on stupidity
