Hello Andrew ! Commodore Holding BV is a Dutch company. Actually they are based in the Dutch Antilles, a tax paradise (together with approx 10 other C= firms ..). The European operations are part of the Dutch holding company. Infact, the holding firm of the Phillipine plant is also based in the Antilles. Production can restart today, if someone pays the bills … All those companies are NOT part of the C= holding company that's liquidating … Al this makes me wonder if indeed rumors are thrue that Irv Gould is playing a financial game, getting rid of the debts, and only keeping the most intresting parts, so a buyer can come along … C= France re-appeared a few weeks ago as Amiga France, maybe all other European firms plan to do the same. Remember : most software engineers are gone at C=, but WB/KS 3.1 was ready to ship, and a RISC Amiga would mean a total rewrite of the operating system, so the "old" people were not necessary anymore. Most of the hardware engineers are still at C= … Now, I don't know what will happen, and I'm not to confident that the Amiga will survive, and I do feel at the moment like a dinosaur, but I'm not ready to die yet … Herman
