Re: Shareware Mac Emulator

To the creator of Aladin

Thankyou for the suggestion of making Aladin shareware, however the person
who suggested that Dave Small had got the situation all sewn up and that there
was no need of another mac emulator does not know the situation in Europe (well
the U.K. anyway). Over here Aladin is the De-Facto mac emulator, it came out
after Magic-Sac and in the U.K. it sold many more than the latter due to the
fact that it had excellent support from Signa Publishing, here Magic Sac had
little or no support. Things have changed recently, spectre 128 has been
released but (as far as I know) GCR is not shipping generally. There was a
rumour of Aladin 128 but it has not yet appeared but there are many Aladin
users who wish to take this upgrade path and now it looks like the shareware
path is the only way to go.
	GCR is great (from what I have heard) but please do not stifle the
development of another great product because a similar one already exists,
otherwise we would be all using one computer (IBM probably) and driving one
car (Reliant Robin (U.K. Specific joke)).
