> AIX is short for the french name of the town

Aix La Chapelle or Aachen. It's the left-most corner of Germany  where the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany meet. The roman emperor Carolus Magnus (Karl der Grosse) had his main residence here, 8th century. Some thirty+ kings and emperors were crowned in Aachen.

> Don't ask me why he used the french name of a german town (Aachen) for his editor, but he did.

Sounds nice. It's widely used locally. You will find copy shops or car rentals that have names such as AIX Press or AIX tra.

> GoldED-AIX works on "real"-Amigas, UAE, Amithlon and MorphOS.

It works with AOS3. I'm not sure about Morphos, there are conflicting reports.

> and the author is "across the pond" so that makes his accepted methods more difficult

I don't see why an intl. letter would be more difficult than a national letter (buy a stamp, go to postbox, wait three day) but I'd agree that the sole online method offered by me (bank transfer) is too expensive from the US. Regrettably, services such as Paypal require that the receiver holds a credit card, which I don't, and they often charge fees which exceed what I find reasonable.

> Carolus Magnus was NOT a roman emperor

Ok, let's be precise. He was the emperor of The Holy Roman Empire. Much of France, Italy, Spain and Germany, I believe. Crowned in Rome.

> GoldED does run on MorphOS, once you maneged to get working Arexx-setup. A little bit of a hassle, but no real prob.

What exactly is the problem with Morphos and Rexx ? What about installation ? I'm highly sceptical regarding InstallerNG.

> PayPal doesn't require me to have a credit card. Only a checking account. Is it different for them overseas???

Yes. Withdrawing (to a bank account) requires a credit card, for no apparent reason other than authentication, I believe. However, people who signed on early don't have to have a card. About that other services, I just don't have the time/patience to wander the web and experiment with those and talking customers into signing up with them.
