Title: Need help to get in touch with gurumediation.se (OS4/AmiFTP)
Post by: a-pex on October 07, 2012, 01:23:25 PM
Hello all,

I need your help to get in touch with the people from gurumeditation.se.

I tried sending an email using this link, but I never got an answer:
http://gurumeditation.se/contact_us.php

In the past there was a nice FTP Client for OS3 called AmiFTP.
Gurumeditation got the Sources from the original programmer.
ZeroHero made the OS4 version, but there is still a bug.


ZeroHero is not willing to fix this bug. He is also not willing to give me the sources, until I will have an official OK from gurumeditation.se.

AmiFTP is really a cute client, small, fast and it would be nice not to loose this nice piece of software.

PLEASE HELP!!!!

He is a friend of mine from way back,and i talked to him about 4 months ago via email,but he hasn't responded since. At the time he mentioned a insane workload and never having much time for anything outside that.

I would just need a small email from him with an ok to give the sources ZeroHero made for gurumeditation.se free. :) Nothing more. ;) It would be really nice if you can ask him.

If you just search for his name in any Swedish phone dictionary service you will get necessary contact details immediately, like home/cellphone number:

Andreas got burned apparently on a couple fronts in his OS4 dealings. Probably he just wants to put it all behind him.

If you need this fixed so desperately why not patch the executable? Or if you can't do it yourself get in touch with someone who can, like Franko.

I think this issue is no so simple to fix.

I am trying everything, because ZeroHero still have the sources! But we need the OK from Gurumediation to get them. :( ZeroHero itself is not willing to fix it... :(

I can try to write a PM to "Franko".

Ah, thank you. Should I now contact ZeroHero again, or just wait some weeks?

Finally I have good news in this case, the source will be released to Aminet! :)
Photon from EAB was able to arrange this.

It seems that fetching a whole folder stalls the program and bandwith is getting crippled to minimum speed.

There is a search going on right now on social media for the original authors to get in contact one last time, after that somebody else is probably porting it (again) from the OS3 sources.

Edit:
Response is in. All OS4 sources are gone or unobtainable.
If someone is start porting it, please join efforts.
