Amithlon

[Aussiholden]

The reason Amithlon failed was due to that Burnie got burnt with the guys from Haag and Partner. So Burnie started doing Amithlon 2 which in no way had anything to do with Haag and Partner seeing it was a complete new from scratch coding. Burnie only needed to gain a licence from the Picaso V boys, but the guys from Haag scared them off with legal action if they had anything to do with the project, even though every one else supported Burnie the Picaso guys didn't want the hassles. Burnie went through hell, and finaly gave up on the project. I do know of some people who offered Burnie money so they could take over the project, but Burnie declined, and Amithlon 2 is also no more.

I have the originial CD and have permission for Bernie to make and "give" copies
to whom ever wants.And Amithlon is NOT dead, just check here :
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/amithlonopen/
I have NOT tested Amithlon but run AmiKit and AmigaSYS and AmigaForever
AmiKit is the best of the three
So if you want a copy please reply to alanoreatcomcastdotnet
as I am not here often

Without this getting into some agro backlash, i never claimed Amithlon was dead, and it was Amithlon 2 that people wanted to buy the complete rights off Bernie so they could distribute it themselves, but he turned them down. Amithlon 2 was faster and more stable than Amithlon, i wish it had been finished, but i respect Bernie's decision.
