Hello Clyde
> Erm, I am a bit confused by Alive Mediasoft claiming to be porting Elite3.
They claim a lot. Apparently they sell Digital Almanac 3. Odd as that is a
PPC version in beta only. Version 2 is the only one available at the
moment.
They also claim to provide software. They cash your money but seem very
slow, six months or more, in actually providing any if ever.

Their version of Descent was a CDR copy (looks like a pirate to me), not
even with a PC version box, plus the Amiga executable on a floppy disk with
read errors so I had to download that part from Aminet.
> Basically, are Alive full of bollocks or not?
That would be a place I think Steven Flowers deserves a good kick !

Bill.
PS. The list may be amused/shocked by the email I got from SF after writing
complaining about goods not arriving after six months.

Guess what, still no goods. It is amazing that Alive find that providing a
really appalling service is funny :(
