Current status of MUI, Magic64?
« on: November 29, 2004, 05:52:30 PM »
After reading today that the EaglePlayer source has just been released, I am wondering about a few other programs that haven't been updated for a while that I'd like to be open source.

Does anybody know the status of MUI or Magic64?

That's a pity. I have a new rule that I only pay for shareware that has been updated this millenium. Even the SASG website "latest news" ends at 1998!

I'd happily pay if Stefan made some updates to MUI (like bug fixes) or at least came out with a new MFR.

MUI is being actively developed, but currently only for MorphOS.


Why only MorphOS? Is Stefan still working on it or someone else?

It would be nice if the Amiga version was free then. Why still charge for software that hasn't been updated for almost 8 years?

If you're not happy paying $25 for a good piece of software, to a worthy author, then use the demo version.


Maybe you didn't read my other post. I said "I'd happily pay if Stefan made some updates to MUI...". That means that I WOULD be happy paying $25 for a good piece of software, to a worthy author. But (and my other quote) "I have a new rule that I only pay for shareware that has been updated this millenium." Besides, I tried contacting Stefan Stuntz before to pay for MFR, but got no response.

Well, that's certainly your choice. Unfortunately, that's going to leave you out of lots of Amiga software.


Not really. There are only 2 pieces of software left that I want, but aren't being updated (and can't contact authors) and so I haven't registered: MUI and Magic64 - hence the reason for this thread.
