In reply to your request, and as a part-time developer of Amiga software,
I will make the following offer to any company on the NET which is interested:
	Send me a confidentiality statement you think protects you sufficiently.
	Send me source code/object code/whatever... which you have working under
		1.3/1.4 & A2000 or higher.
	Send me a reasonable fee (to be negotiated per-project).
	And I will port/verify/whatever... your software back to a 1.3
		Amiga 1000 (if it is at all possible).
	I will gladly provide resume and professional references upon request.

	I can be contacted by return email or at amicc!Andrew@cos.cos.com.
	Or I can be contacted by USNail at:
		Andrew R. Scholnick
		The Computer Club Company
		13013 Lee-Jackson Highway, Suite 142
		Fairfax, VA 22033-3113
	Or I can be contacted by telephone at: (703) 968-7588 (leave a
		message on the machine if it answers.)

Maybe some other part-time Amiga developers will make this offer too...

ARS.
