- This message is from the new owner Dave Dustin
-
- I have purchased the source-code and rights to further develop `Virus
- Checker' by John Veldthuis, and pending final settlement, hope to have a
- new version available within 4-6 weeks.
-
-
- Some background information about myself:
-
- I am a devoted Amiga developer, and have been since the A1000's first hit
- New Zealand's shores. I have owned pretty much all of the Commodore range,
- and still use many of the machines.
-
- I had been a registered developer with CBM since 1990, but have been
- programming long before that. I am proficient in Assembly, E, C/C++ and a
- number of "useless" languages.
-
-
- It will take me a while to familiarise myself with the code, and do
- conversions to my system, but from the initial examinations I foresee no
- real problems.
-
- In the mean time, I would like to ask you, the users, to please complete
- the following questions so that I may better understand what is wanted from
- the future `Virus Checker'.
