 Yes, a good indication, but as I feared, doesn't that mean the progress
 or revision of the Amiga port will also eventually if not already
 suffer?

 i.e. Amiga loses alot of things because of loss of interest, I suppose
      its just the way it really has to be ultimately...

 swing a ride on the NG Amiga choo choo train... heh

 as for Macos I only installed 8.5.5 once to take a look at WarlordsII. I
 remember ringing the developer himself in Aussie after finding out he
 wasn't going to make WLII for the Amiga and encouraging him to do so.
 He said, got $50,000? I'll make you a version... I would have if I had
 the money.

 I'm busy collecting all the mailing list archives. I've already found
 many answers/insights... so I guess I too shall become quiet...

 thanks for the reply MAgnus, good to hear a sound even if you didn't
 answer the query ;)
