If you need specific software, and it apparently isn't being written, then write it yourself. If you don't have the skill, then convince someone else to write it for you. Waving money at them works wonder (try it on me some time). If you need something for a niche market (and everything else on the Amiga is pretty well covered) and can't get it produced yourself, then you bought your machine the wrong way. Instead of buying the machine with the best capabilities and hoping someone produces the software you want, you should choose the software you want to run, and then buy the machine it runs best on. And yes, I'm still waiting for niche market software to appear, and trying to find time to do it myself.
