You're right, we aren't going to do any work on the FFE source code ourselves. As I'm sure most people will agree, our time is better spent on Elite 4 :) - Although if necessary, I will act as an intermediary between people working on a unified project, collating updated source files and compiling/releasing new versions of 'FFE Plus' (if anyone has any suggestions regarding a name for the new iteration of the game, let me know). ================================================= In alt.fan.elite, Zat Solo wrote: > Andrew, only a question, if it's possible and if it doesn't create > problems to you. > Autumn 2000 could be the correct moment for the release of a > freeware/shareware version of "FFE plus"? Or is it still soon, to be > able to say this? The freeware/shareware version of FFE should have been released by then, but it's hard to say when the first updated version will be ready. It depends on how quickly people get to grips with the code. Speaking personally, I've seen the FFE source code and it looks very daunting to me. ================================================= Deep Space Outpost - The final Frontier
