yeah, thanks. Small things like that can run up to serious trouble for the
average sized amiga software development company. We recently took some
heat for charging $9.95 to get 2.0 versions of some of our programs, after
we said they were 2.0 before. A last minute tinker before 2.04, for "future
compatibility" reasons (amigados 3.0?) caused this, and even so it cost a
ton getting different bunches of disks back in, and we had a deal with
Commodore UK (who had no idea), that required massive re-copying of
masters, etc., and got tons of angry letters saying it was our fault, etc..
No prior documentation from Commodore had ever stated that this change
would be made, or that this one routine had anything wrong, until is was
made.
what was done was done, it's over now, and if necessary we'd do it again
(what choice is there), but you gotta realize what things like these can
cause…
– anyway, just letting of some steam. The above paragraph represents my
personal opinion and has nothing to do with my company's policy..
