Really? I thought that was sort of bad form for commercial software developers. And Mike is an old-time Amiga guy, too. It will make back-porting a lot more time consuming.

Looks like there is some new (Yeah!) competition, too:

There is nothing wrong with a bit of healthy competition, it will make both our packages better ;-)

I do have DS5 on CD already but the hardware banging made it awkward to run on graphics card equipped Amigas including of course the Amiga One. I eventualy got Vista Pro to run on the A1 but had no luck with DS :-(

Good luck with your project, if the hardware banging is fixed in DS I'll probably buy a copy myself.

We are not sure if we are going forward on this since the Amiga source code is lost and all that is available is the Windows code (for porting purposes). There would have to be serious demand.
