Um - don't quite know whom you mailed but I don't appear to have been 
one of them :-).

Windis hasn't exactly "gone commercial". The product rights were sold 
(to a buyer who shall remain nameless unless they wish to reveal 
themselves) and parts of it were incorporated into a commercial product. 
However, in the last version I saw of this, it wasn't really 
recognisably Windis anymore.I don't know anything of the future plans 
for this.

As far as the original authors [Ewan Kirk and myself] are concerned, 
Windis/Windis32 v3.1 are the last of their lines but these will remain 
available (and free) for as long as they are still useful.
