Hi Andrew. I just noticed this thread. Gee, calling a future Windows version of Helm "vaporware" seems a little harsh. I've told a few people that I'm working on such a version but I've never publically announced it or done anything other than speculate about a possible completion date. I suppose it is technically vaporware. Unfortunately, the term is so loaded, it seems to indicate a promise that was not kept. Like any program of this size, we have had our share of problems. I've worked through all of the ones that have been reported to me. In fact, we are sending a free maintenance upgrade to registered users in the next few weeks. Once I have everyone on the same version of Helm, I will start uploading patches to fix future problems. If you have discovered a problem, please let me know so I can correct it. Actually, I'm quite excited about the prospects of using Helm for CD32 development. Several European companies are going to use Helm for this kind of development and I've been working with them to add CD32 specific features. Also, we are thinking about doing a title or two ourselves. I really think that Helm will be the fastest way of creating many types of interactive applications for CD32. –Jerrell Nickerson Eagle Tree Software (developer of Helm)
