This is good news, I have been looking for a legal way to purchase it and rid myself of the delay in AmiKit, but could not find anywhere to purchase.  Greg Perry should make it easier to find and purchase if he wants people to buy legal keyfiles.

It is a shame that there is absolutely no mention of the Amiga on his website and there is no way to purchase a download of the Amiga version with a keyfile.

Current quote from the Guru Meditation website "Directory Opus Magellan was bought late 2004. After a long a long time of porting this product to the latest Amiga OS, we are now closing in on the release. However, at this point in time, it is not possible to buy this product for OS 4 (and not for OS 3.x either). This is something that we are working hard to remedy."

So it appears that there is still no way to purchase DOpus Magellen from anyone. :boohoo:

@thread,

I stand corrected, Dr Greg Perry is now responding to requests to buy DOPus Magellen.  The previous attempt by me was answered with directions to the new owners of the Amiga version, which are not currently set up to sell the Amiga version for some reason.  Here is the reply I received this morning in response to yesterdays request.

"The Amiga pages of our web site is for historic reasons only and has not
functioned (like the Amiga) for some 9 years.
(http://www.gpsoft.com.au/amiga/AmigaIndex.html)

Yes you can still buy the last DOpus Magellan 5.82 version from us but only
by special quote. The price is Australian Dollars $65.00 for electronic
delivery via LHA archive."

I don't like his statement that the Amiga died 9 years ago, mine still work very well thank you.  I also agree that the price is a bit high for an unsupported product, but I will probably buy it anyway, because I am against using pirated keyfiles or registration numbers.

If anyone knows where an electronic copy of the docs can be found, let me know.

Edit: There are good tutorials for DOpus 5 on the webpage noted above.
