Well just to add in my $.02, we on the Tailsman BBS, gave the FTA a bunch of suggestions on software to write after they came out with the XMas demo, and on the idea of doing a Muliti-tasking program, they stated that they were not going to do one because another French group was already in the process of making one. Now we get a press release from a French group with a Multi-tasking program. Vaporware. Maybe, maybe not. But with Andy, Dave and the FTA giving positive remarks about it, this could be it!
