IDI *is* supporting Moonlighter's products: AmiBack, AmiBack Tools & Tapeworm. "Ongoing" items are being looked in to. Items that have ben reported and confirmed as bugs will be addressed in both minor and major upgrades of all three packages. Since I officially work for the retail part of the company, I am unfamiliar with specific problems. If you wish, please email me a description of your problem including what program, systm configuration and product version number and I will see what I can do to help you. IDI's decision on product support was purely economic. They are a small company with the programmers also doing tech support. Many of the "tech support calls" were easily answerable by reading the manual. We also had a number of people who attempted to get tech support for non-registered products, "friend's copies" and the like. IDI wanted to take more direct control over who received extensive tech support. I will check, but I do not remember *all* tech support being charged for. I thought that there was a period of 30 days or so that tech support was free. I might be wrong…I was not in on the decision. Finally, I want to emphasize that I am not accusing anyone of "frivolous" tech calls, piracy or anything. I am just reporting what I was hearing by listening to the phones. Again, please email me with a description of the problem and I will see what I can do. (Also, please include the product serial number in private mail.)
