a) ReaAction is also a 3rd-party-product, licenced by H&P
and now re-licenced by Hyperion. Old versions can be found as
ClassAct on Aminet.

b) Do you know that the contract between Strunzi and Genesi is NOT
the "same" as between Hyperion and the ReAction-author ?

Yes, Strunzi did give Hyperion access to the CVS, which at that
point included MUI-3.9-PPC done by R.S., but aslong as we don't
know whats in the contact(*) between Strunzi and Genesi, and what
Genesi has to feed back to the CVS and what not we can only guess.


* AFIAK there was a new(2nd) contract singned shortly before the
Aachen-show last december, which went further than just CVS-access.
1. Make an announcment.
2. Wait a while.
3. Check if it can actually be done.
4. Wait for someone else to do it.
5. Start working on it while giving out hillarious progress-reports.
6. Deny that you have ever announced it
7. Blame someone else

@CodeSmith

Don't confuse the MUI-API with the MUI-settings.

As I understood this:
A MOS-app using MUI, could be set to use this
theme by the user, but a 68k version of that
same app would just look like "normal" MUI, with
only the a recompile inbetween.

Maybe one could even make IBrowse look like
this under MOS.

@HMetal

a) get your facts straight ! AROS has NO access
to the MUI-CVS as they code their own MUI-clone
(zune), and whoever adds something to MUI "hurts"
AROS-users (by your definition).

b) noone buys the right for updates when he
registeres a shareware-SW, the buy the current
version, nothing more.

c) Hyperion has decided NOT to by a licence for a
registered MUI, but just access to the CVS, under
clear rules. If they don't like those rules they
can only blame themselves.

d) you do know who wrote the PPC-version found in
that CVS, which will most likely be the base
for OS4-version ?
