Yes, whatever were you thinking Mike:) and for me the manpages are
unusable (pointlessly complicated in this day and age really) so for a
few hours effort I thought foks like you would enjoy the html. I was
just doing my little bit and knew you'd probably see it if you were
still around.
I think your method will work better for me. I tend to program mostly on
the real hardware and sometimes emulation but tend to use the PC for
reference and documentation research etc.
FWIW, I had managed to contact one of the programmers. His response was,
the software belonged solely to Manx as all developers were employees at
the time of development. The best you could hope for would be to locate
which (if any) company acquired the Manx assets.
I have Harry Suckow's phone etc. He is still in Freehold, NJ. I talked
to Carl Sassenrath and know where Jim Goodnow is too. Thomas Fenwick
may still be at Microsoft. He may also have gone underground after he
directed the devlopement of WIndows CE. As far asw Mike Spille goes, I
haven't talked to him since the early 90's and he is probably still
living in Greenwich Village or may have moved upstate for all I know.
I want to finish the site off before I ask Harry the question. The use
is still fair especially under the Berne Convention 3 test clause
which is what we Canadians go by, but I want their help in getting all
the versions of everything, so I need to make a better effort than I
have so far.
Good luck with that. At this point any acknowledgment would be great.
The Aztec stuff that I have put on line is a period piece and runs
without tweaking under XP. It comes with a fully functional
development environment coutesy of yours truly and strictly speaking
is much more than a compiler. If CC65 comes with all that then that is
wonderful. I had a look at one point and it just looked like a whole
lot of work to me.
I don't really know what else to say about all that except to say that
If you are not using Aztec-C Fairly, please let me know so I can
write some Apple II programs for resale too:) Other than that I'll let
the shot on ethics go and I'll say cheers to all and if you know those
archivers over at asimov why not ask them not to delete my work and I
will put some of this over there too.
Sorry, that was not a shot at you but just a mention. There have been
some very nasty wars in the past regarding copyrights and all that
stuff. Personally, I'm thankful for what you have released as there is
very little C code available for the II systems.
Cheers,
Mike T.
