I guess I should clarify that....

Judging from sales, I don't think all that many people would care if
I dropped FoReM ST, but...

What I am not doing is any ST specific development.  I had plans for
a multi-user bbs system based on the ST, but there is no reason to 
do so.  

FoReM ST will stay consistant with the single user IBM PC version as
it is source code compatible for both the main bbs and the FoReM Net
 network mail system.  When the multi-user 286/386 version comes
out later this year there will be no effort to have it run on the
ST.  Too few sales and too much piracy.

FoReM is  the "Friends of Rickey Moose"
