America a real company, in the first alj> place? Not at all. It is basically a ficticious company, on a few mailing lists, otherwise just identifying a group of friends, and one of them in particular, who receives such mail. Pi-Rho America isn't even remotely related to Amiga software development or marketing even as a theoretical company. The Pi-Rho part is a joke on fraternities, and yes, it was derived from "pyro". What it comes down to is that "Pi-Rho America" has NO significance to anyone except people around here who know the group or are in it. (So why am I bothering to explain this to the world? Well, you asked.) So stop worrying and ranting about it, people. Geez. [any replies, send to me, not comp.sys.amiga.] Deven -- Deven T.
