- There were some really great pieces of software written for amiga by companies
- which no longer exist or no longer have an interest in the amiga.
-
- When it is no longer possible to get these programs through commercial outlets
- you would think that the companies could do us all a favour and upload the
- program to aminet. ie. put it in the public domain.
-
- After all the hours that went into coding the software wouldn't it be good
- for someone to get some more use out of it when the program has been written
- off commercially?
-
- The Blue Ribbon Example on Compuserve courtesy of Microsoft is the kind of
- thing we are after. Bars&Pipes Pro 2.5 is one mega comprehensive package
- and now it is sitting there for a free d/l by CIS members.
-
- Just an idea anyway!
