Contacted RealSoft about Real3D - Please see

[cgutjahr]

@EDanaII:

Maybe we could obtain "official" permission and then upload it to Aminet?

That sounds like a plan

Could the original poster please forward the two mails to aminet@aminet.net (or post them here), so we can directly contact the person you talked to?

If somebody has a complete copy of the latest full version (I wouldn't even know what version number that would be), please upload it to Aminet. Uploading a readme isn't neccessary, but if you upload only the readme please either post here or drop us a mail so we know what's up.

I'll archive all the disks I have and upload them to aminet tonight when I get home.

Btw, I also have "Phenomena" for Real3D which is a really cool special effects package.  I believe Phenomena was only made for the Amiga version of Real3D.  

Since Phenomena is useless without Real3D for Amiga, could we logically conclude that this is now freeware also?

@stopthegop

The email he's quoting only indicates that version 2 is freeware, not any other version.

I don't read it that way.  I read the second response '...Amiga version...' as meaning any Amiga version as they don't support that platform any more.

Great stopthegop! I have sent you a PM already.

Exactly.  He emphasized the point about not supporting the Amiga platform and stated "version 2" as an afterthought.  He probably forgot which particular version was the last Amiga version..

If someone get permission to upload it to aminet I would pricieid like to see older version too.

I've learned to use 1.4 quite well

I've had a look on Aminet but I can't find the archive anywhere :cry:

[stopthegop]

its pending approval by aminet mods

[DrDekker]

That's because we can't host it on Aminet just because someone said he's heard somewhere that it's now freeware - we need a license from the copyright owner.

That's why I need copies of the mails the original poster was quoting from - or at least the contact address he was using. I'll ask that guy for the permission to host v3.5 and the addons, and then it will be made available to the public.

[AeroMan]

I want a copy ! :-D

[Hodgkinson]

Give us a shout when it goes public :-)

Thanks folks,
Hodgkinson.
