I was disappointed when the news of the cancellation of AWGS 2.0 came
across the net. I agree that most modules would have required major
overhaul in order to be even remotely functional by today's standards.
But, seeing one of the remaining BIG Apple II companies give up (granted
for valid reasons) development of the 2.0 upgrade leaves me to wonder how
long before we lose all commercial support. (Fortuneately, our user
support is going strong!).

Hey, I wonder if the original authors of GSWorks (StyleWare) would have
any documented source or other documentation which could perhaps shed
some light on this situation? I believe the founder (Kevin Harvey?) now
works for or owns a small Windows database outfit. Anyone know where we
could locate him or any other GSWorks crew?
