#FEEDBACK
No problem with posting your message, Jim. We always want to know what CIS has
to say about our problem!
I still think that the most promising of all the replies we have received was
the one to Andrew Letchford, from which I quote a bit:
>Mr. Letchford:
>My group is responsible for development and support of multiple platforms
>with the CompuServe Communications Toolbox (CCT). CCT is the API which
>developers use to create applications that employ our HMI protocol.
>Jim Snell (email CSI:J.SNELL) manages our developer relations and is aware
>of the need for an Amiga version of CCT. Jim is presently considering the
>cost, feasibility, and available options for a portation of CCT to the
>Amiga platform. We have not yet made a decision on this project.
>I hope that you realize that the transition away from ASCII will be a
>gradual one, and that some forums may never be converted from ASCII to
>HMI. It is easy to react to the ASCII transition with panic, but it does
>not need to be taken this way.
>Please stay in touch with Jim Snell via email and monitor your user forum
>for further information as it becomes available.
>Thank you for your support and concern.
>Lex Crosett VP ISD Interface Products CompuServe, Incorporated

I've not yet heard what Mr. Snell's decision was, so I believe that he has not
yet decided. Until the decision is made – and we hope it will be FOR us — we
can only wait and hope – and write, I suppose.
There have been so many polite, well-written messages that CompuServe just HAS
to pay attention, whatever their final decision might be. If our letters had
been angry and accusative, I don't think we would have come nearly this far.
The reply you received seems to emphasize that someone up there is truly
considering the Amiga for inclusion in the HMI development, don't you think?
