Dean Yu has stated on the net, and it has been repeated a number of times,
that he wants to verify with Eveready that they do not object to using their
trademarked symbol(s) in his software. Until he hears from them, he is not
going to release the latest version to the net.
If you can't deal with that, you have two options:
1) Get the latest Apple Developers' CD. An older version is on there.
2) Determine the amount of money required to defend against a trademark
violation suit, include a reasonable amount if the suit is successful,
and place it in an escrow account for Dean.
Otherwise, just wait. That's what I'm doing, and that's what many
others are doing. The more people clamor for (nay, _demand_) the
software, the more I feel that Dean shouldn't even bother.

Sorry...couldn't resist :)...just kidding But on a more serious note... Whadyall [sic...I'm trying to work on my Virginia accent] think would happen if someone posted a 1-800 number for Energizer and refered all requests for the program to them directly ? Think that might speed them up a bit and/or work out some sort of arrangement (possibly monetary) with Dean ? Just an idea...not an opinion. -- =============================================================================== Ken Sheppardson Email: kcs@sso.larc.nasa.gov Space Station Freedom Advanced Programs Office Phone: (804) 864-7544 NASA Langley Research Center FAX: (804) 864-1975 ===============================================================================
