I have v1.0 as well, and I can attest to this. I always thought it was odd how
one day it was an FTA production and the next time I saw it the credits said
1WSW.
That's sad how some people can just callously stick their name on someone
else's hard work and pass it around as their own. I've noticed a few of my
things in the 1WSW folder on ground. I think I'm going to download them and see
if any "changes" have been made. I suggest that other IIgs programmers,
artists, and musicians do the same.
