- The statement about Dr.T's having stopped development for the Atari in
- 1992 is false. Dr.T's is online on GEnie and they report KCS Omega V5.0
- is currently under development and will be released in early 1993. It
- will run on a Falcon030, although it will not take advantage of many of
- the new sound capabilities of the new machine (yes, Dr.T's has a
- Falcon).
-
- While the Atari version of X-oR is currently on the back burner, some
- work on an upgrade has been done (though it would be wise not to hold
- your breath for it to be released). X-oR profiles are currently being
- written for several new instruments (my source for this info cannot be
- disputed! ;^) and will be released by Dr.T's early next year.
-
- Granted, the focus of Dr.T's development has moved towards the PC, but
- it has not stopped on the ST!
