Well, if you'd contacted anybody related to the product outside Europe,
you'd know by now.

That in itself is a violation of the current copyright.

But that aside, when the most recent The Manager went into alpha testing
many years ago, we discovered a number of problems with it breaking
Apple's software rules, and consequently causing some applications to
break, including some which Seven Hills publishes.

We sent the developers a list of things to change to make The Manager
environment friendly, but they never made those changes.

They decided to publish the French version as is, unstable and interrupt
unfriendly.

We do have the source code for the English version, and as soon as we can,
we will be working on fixing those problems properly.

Do your research next time.
