Hum,
As reported here,
The creator of Digital Almanac
has decided to give up all development on the Amiga.
DA for OS4 was supposed to arrive this year,
but sales of the Morphos version
told him the AOS4 version
won't sell at all.

RIP.

Hum,
maybe theres more to it, than just what he stated...
I`m sure that he thought giving up on his `baby`
was the right decision at the time...
i personally use distant suns,
though i would love to see
DA back on track...
E-mail flood his
mailbox?
no..

Well put,

And sadly
true ,imho

Hum,
from my viewpoint as well i agree,
You can't make accurate predictions (in it's current version) about celestial events with it ...

But as eye candy it's nice for a rainy day...
And deep down i wish that frontier elite version # had been like that...yes, the amiga version...And if anyone wants to port it then fine; but can you please include some thargoid ships and work in some Alien breed code, so i can frag them when i land planetside...??

BTW By Crom! Nothing wrong with thread-bending, it's almost compulsory at A.org.

Hum,
last time i used it was just before the transit of venus...

june 8 12:19...(try positioning it over scotland, and seeing last contact) useless to get anything accurate from a screenshot.

Where as (say) duistant suns will load up and i can get accurate figures to within a few seconds, and all in a space of time it takes to hyperjump to the kitchen and boil a kettle...

Superb!

Good work that person!

(in advance of it being finished)
