Envoy source and availability
« on: November 13, 2023, 04:22:56 PM »
Hi all,

As I've been getting back into Amiga, I've been using Envoy a lot in my network.   It's really useful! 

Does anyone know who owns the rights to Envoy and if they'd be willing to either sell them or release it to the public?  It's a great piece of software, but it needs some updating and TLC.

I tried to e-mail Heinz Wrobel who made the last update in 2004, but I never got a response.  Not even sure if the e-mail is still valid or if he's even still alive.

Of course, you can't buy it anymore, and the currently available pirated/cracked copies have a broken installation script.  I've taken a stab at writing a new one with a little script that combines the pirated ADFs + the last Envoy 3.1 update into a working installation bundle.  That's available here:  https://github.com/xlark/EnvoyInstall.  If anyone is interested.

I'd love to do more, but without the source code and distribution rights, I'm kind of hamstrung.

Thanks,

-Clark
