Thomas Frieden redesigned Exec SG's exception handling last week which is why it was it was first termed as "completed".

You should realise that this type of software never really is truly finished.

I wonder who the programmer(s) are in charge of these. Could OS4.0's Ghostscript be a continuation of RĂ¼diger Hanke's Ghostscript 6.5 port (he was working on 7.x), and could the PDF reader be a finished (finally!) version of Emmanuel Lesueur's APDF 3.0? MUI or Reaction?

AFAIK these are completely new ports done by Andrija (The Anthony) Antonijevic who also did our AmiSSL V2.

Actually Bill the status report correctly reflects reality.

Considering that OS 4 has been under development by Hyperion since November 1, 2001 it's hardly surprising that we got to the stage where we are now.

We get requests every day by people for status reports.

It's too time-consuming to compile these on a frequent basis and I thank Elwood for taking care of this for me.
