Someone told me there was an earlier note on newsgroup about the latest Red Ryder comms program update but I must have missed it. Anyway, I received a letter from FreeSoft announcing the update to version 11 and giving a story about the name change to White Knight. The owners of the Red Ryder trademark (who are they?) apparently wanted a lot more dosh for its continued use and so FreeSoft decided to change the name to White Knight 11 (isn't/wasn't that the name of a famous chess program for the BBC micro and other PCs?)! Anyone know the full story behind this? Could be that the name will have to change again!! More important perhaps has anyone seen/used White Knight 11? Does it really live up to its spec.., particularly regarding speed, and running correctly under MultiFinder. After the fiasco of the last upgrade from 9.4 to 10.3 which I forked out for and was considerably disappointed (it was a 'one step forwards, two steps backwards' job in my opinion), I am loathe to part with money again on spec. alone. It sounds good but so did Red Ryder 10.3! -- Chris Colbourn, Psychology Dept, Southampton University, SO9 5NH, UK JANET: pyi011@uk.ac.soton.ibm or cjc@uk.ac.soton.ecs INTERNET: pyi011%soton.ac.uk%nsfnet-relay.ac.uk TEL: +44 703 592589 (DDI) or +44 703 595000 x2589 TLX: 47661 SOTONU G FAX: +44 703 593939 -- Chris Colbourn, Psychology Dept, Southampton University, SO9 5NH, UK JANET: pyi011@uk.ac.soton.ibm or cjc@uk.ac.soton.ecs INTERNET: pyi011%soton.ac.uk%nsfnet-relay.ac.uk TEL: +44 703 592589 (DDI) or +44 703 595000 x2589 TLX: 47661 SOTONU G FAX: +44 703 593939
