I realize it probably looked like that, and so I'm going to make a brief posting to (maybe) clear it up. It was more like: "See even companies that originally were very dedicated to the Atari ST are being forced to move on and expand their horizons..." I sincerely have absolutely no problem with Antic Software's move away from 100% Atari software. I think it's a perfectly reasonable thing to do. But at the same time I think it makes a pretty strong statement about Atari's position in the marketplace. I'm sorry about the way the message appeared to bash Antic Software. I didn't mean it that way. -- David Beckemeyer (david@bdt.UUCP) | "Lester Moore - Four slugs from a .44 Beckemeyer Development Tools | no Les, no more." 478 Santa Clara Ave. Oakland, CA 94610 | - Headstone at Boot Hill UUCP: {uunet,ucbvax}!unisoft!bdt!david | Tombstone, AZ
