Bars&Pipes 1.19 released

[amigau]

M$  released it for free on Compuserve when they hired Todor Fay several years ago.  Another guy on geocities obtained the exe's and put them on his site for download for over a year, and was taking down his site when we came across it, so we offered to take over the download.

So if you want the 'classic' version, you can get it, SuperJAM!, related tools, etc. from us, and the newer version from the Germans working on it since.

we've had this download up now for several years and not a peep from Redmond, like they really care anyway.

I noticed your music-x download there also, with the disclaimer form - who ends up receiving that, if you don't mind my asking?  Does it go to whomever owns microillusions now, or someone else?

 I ask because I discussed getting this program open-sourced with David Talin (the author) some time ago but he doesn't own the rights to it anymore and didn't want to pay a lawyer to track it all down just for that purpose. . .

he pointed me at the MeV project on BeOS that he started (and then left to others) which was essentially an updated Music-x

does anyone know how BTTR, ami-sector one, etc. got all that software licensed to be freeware, anyway?  I've always been curious - maybe it helps that a lot of the publishers were in the UK instead of the US. . .
