Yeah (re: Video Toaster software)

New-Tek *STILL* hasn't corrected the self-modifying code bug in DigiView
version 3.0 that affects the DigiDroid (re: the DigiDroid not functioning
on a 68020 or 68030 Amiga unless the cache(s) are turned OFF)  :-(


Back at the FAUG meeting earlier this year that Max Toy attended, Tim Jennison
swore up and down (in answer to someone ELSE's question) that the bug would
be fixed in version 3.0.    It wasn't.

Then, after I accused Paul Montgomer of being the Bandito (in Amazing
Computing) and he called me asking me to retract that statement on the
FAUG BBS in exchange for a quick fix to make DigiDroid work on an '020
Amiga (and I said "Yes"), the bug hasn't been fixed (and this has been
almost 3 months now).

Sheesh.

Perhaps New-Tek is spending too much time doing demos and NOT doing the
real software ... this is just my idle speculation.  You decide for yourself.
