Thorsten Schoelzel (amiga-freak@t-online.de) writes: »Because for a long time nothing new was heard about the program "AmiATLAS", I asked the programmer Andreas Regul for a statement: "It is correct, during the last months there was silence about AmiATLAS. But now we found someone, who will go on developing the program. Therefore I am confident, that some day a version 6 will be released. But I do not know anything definite." If someone wants to assist Andreas and the new programmer with the further development of this ingenious program, he may please write to amiatlas@gmx.de «
