 Paul, you have missed the point here. Look at the timetables involved.
 #1. FHL obtains the porting rights of GWindows for BOTH the TC70 and the
MM/1.
 #2. FHL repeatedly states that there is not enough market for his company
to pursue a port of GWindows for the MM/1.
 #3. Months and Months pass.
 #4. Delmar says, Give me 20 orders by Dec 31st, 1993 and I'll port Gwindows
 to the MM/1.
 #5. On DEC 20th, Delmar extends the date 2 months. Plenty of reasons for
this, christmas cash crunch is my favorite idea.
 #6. On Dec 20th, FHL offers a 'hacked', unsupported, unauthorized port
of GWindows for the MM/1, produced from a TC70 disassembly. Cost 50$ less
than Delmars planed version. Also, 13 revisions old.
 #7. Delmar and FHL get into a p*ssing contest, with assorted MM/1 owners
chipping in.
 #8. On Dec 21st, FHL withdrawls its Unsupport port, in favor of a supported
port.

 Now, the Delmar Deadline was common knowledge on Delphi, the Coco Mailing
list, and the Fido network. If FHL wanted to make a profit, all He had to
do was wait. Either the Delmar plan fails, and he has ALL potential
customers shopping in his store
/del
 store, or it succeeds and he now has more customers for GWindow products.
  What actually happened was FHL put his foot in it, in a very public
forum. Anyone with any sence could see that FHLs statement could ONLY
hurt his competitor. Capitalism isn't about hurting the other guy, its
about selling a better product. The initial FHL offering was clearly NOT
a better product. The timing was clearly questionable.
