Re: TWGS EPROM v1.8 Archive Available

[Dain Neater <dneater@inebraska.com>]

My last message....
The web page is out of date and last I heard via e-mail was that he does
indeed have permission to distribute it from people formerly of AE.  I am
not sure why he hasn't updated his web page, but I think it might have to do
with the fact that he has sold almost zero of anything the last few years.
I could be wrong of course.

So as far as word from ///SHH Systeme goes, they do have permission.  At
least that is what the e-mail response I got when I inquired sometime back
about what my options were if any for obtaining an updated Rom so that I
could update the cache.
