I sent a quick email note to Jayson Adams asking about future updates and bug fixes to NewsGrazer, either without charge, or, as I suggested, for a small (~$25) charge. I suggested the small charge to cover his further development time, since Steve wouldn't be footing the bill anymore ;-) Unfortunately, Jayson replied that NeXT did not release the rights to NewsGrazer to him when he left. Furthermore, he isn't sure that any future work will be done on the App. Can anyone add to this story? I'd sure like to see some bugs fixed, and some new functionality added to this neat App. -- Nathan Janette "I'm a NeXTstep man, Dept MB&B, Yale Univ I'm a NeXTcube guy" New Haven, CT nathan@laplace.biology.yale.edu (NeXT)

That leaves the market open for commercial products like Jayson's "NewsExplorer." Sort of like with BackSpace. NeXT is trying to avoid competing with it's developers, after all. - Ernie P. -- Ernest N.

I don't know if any work is being done on a new version of NG, but I do know that someone is reading the mail to that address (because I sometimes get answers to my comments). -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@eclipse.its.rpi.edu ITS Systems Programmer (handles NeXT-type mail) Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute; Troy NY USA
