Belial6, I agree, amiga inc is nothing but trouble and i dont expect them to do anything worth writing home about this part of the millennium...
But writing such a replacement will be one heck of a job, i know the source for kick start 1.3 is out there tho decompiling 3.1 wouldn't take a genius... Best thing would be to topple amiga inc and for someone with a bit more fudge between the ears, atleast enough to know whats good for the name, company and rep to take over so we would have someone we could co-operate with, or would want to co-operate with behind the wheel...
