Hyperion announces OS 3.1 update

[Gulliver]

C:Wait and C:Sort, both version 42.1, at least the sources are not a problem, hehe

The FILE option of Wait 42.1 has turned out to be quite useful for me, simple trick to solve situations with several background running scripts having dependencies on each other etc.

The problem with those updates as far as I know is that they are post 3.1 CBM era and are not part of the rights Hyperion has, so they cant be included, but of course, their extra features can be reimplemented.

From what I recall - CBM folded in 1994.

The key element there is not that of the year, but of the version number.
Version 42.x was post 3.1, so it is a no go, despite still being built during CBM era.

That sounds whack, one would think that released 3.1 CBM code and unreleased WIP "3.2 beta" CBM code was pretty much the same, legally.

Who owns rights for the kickstart "3.2" kickstart of the Walker?

Legally speaking 3.1, and post 3.1 code are two entirely different worlds apart.

As for who owns 3.2 beta kickstart, one thing for sure: it is not Hyperion.

At last, some sense.

I think the worry that some people will have is that they will be downgrading some components if they install 3.1.4 over 3.9. I'm sure that when the release date nears the proper way to install the upgrade will be made clear.

I can assure you it is pretty simple to upgrade a 3.9 system with 3.1.4 components. You only need to take care of a few precautions.
