OK Very stupid question, but what the heck is DOpus? I why would I need it?

I mean I don't use an Amiga very much anymore,  although I do use WinUAE for emails, word processing and some web browsing, but I get by very well without it and WinUAE with 3.9 feels very much the same as Windows.

@Wilse

When I said that 3.9 "feels" like Windows I mean in terms of drag and drop, moving files around etc.

Everyone seemd to be on that OS4 without "DOpus" will be rubbish, all I ment is that I use 3.9 the same way that I can use Windows. Not to say 3.9 is the same as Windows, because we all know it isn't ;-)

I agree, I find it a shame that something like this is again being brought into public. It is very bad business practise. I mean how many credit card companies send out a global email (or a posting on a public forum) saying that they couldn't get payment from one of thier customers?

Tho this does seem to be the norm in the wonderful world of Amiga

From what I see all that really needed to be said is:

GPSoft is currently unable to continue development of DOpus due to misscomunication between Hyperion and ourselves. Once this has been cleared up we can contiune.

It gets the point accross without going into the specifics that, lets face it, we don't really need to know. At the end of the day,  without a copy of the contract NONE of us can comment on wether or not this is true Or if Greg is in the right. But either way he could have gone about it in other ways rather then on a public messege board
