Sorry to interrupt but I think whiteb, you need to calm down a bit. We've all heard a couple of accusations - leave aside the Sword of Sodan stuff, no-one really cares about that too much, not even here in Germany. IMHO if you give them a note and it's removed it's AOK.

To the claim of selling Kickstart images on *bay or whereever: Andreas is actively denying, got any proof? Otherwise please keep your comments to yourself.

As to PFS3 release: what's wrong with AF putting this on a cover CD when it's still going to be released as OS? Obviously Michiel needs to put a bit of work into it before, and usually this takes a while, low priority as it is.

If nothing comes up by the end of the year then you can start shouting - but you won't ever know if it's Andreas' fault or just the author's making up his mind / not being able to find the time. In that case I'll be glad to donate my copy of PFS3 to you.

he mean this cd: http://www.apc-tcp.de/support/0033e.php

we sell this now 14 years. review in many mags, many, many users have this cd but nobody foundy any kickstart files on the cd.


From the contents listing I can't find any clue as to where there's any Kickstart/Workbench included.

i know my english are not really good. here are the original german text from the auction. can you translate it correct?

"Auf der CD befinden sich fast 1.000 Spiele für den Amiga.

Keine Raubkopien!

Mit einem Emulator (z.b. WinUAE) und inbstallierter Workbench läßt sich die CD auch auf PC benutzen.

Biete noch weitere Amiga CDs an.

nearly 1.000 Games für Amiga on this CD. no pirate Copies!!! With UAE Emulator and installed AMiga WOrkbench you can use the CD on PC, too.
"


Ain't too bad ;) He might be referring to "With UAE you can...", implying that it's also supplied on the CD - which it isn't.
Rephrasing it to something like "You can also use this CD on a PC equipped with Amiga Forever or UAE." might be less ambiguous but is not necessarily required IMO.
