Jim, you are quite correct, any official information about the release of
Red Ryder 11, or any other Freesoft product would indeed appear in the
Freesoft Roundtable on GEnie before it would appear any place else. 

Richard's message with out confirming anything was a poor move...all it 
serves to do is create problems and mis-information. 

Beta testing will be beginning on a wider scale soon, I'll say that much 
at this time. But a release is still a ways down the road, and I am not
even going to begin to attempt to speculate when Red Ryder 11 will be
available, so don't bother to ask that question...my only answer will be
it will ship when its ready....and not before....
