That's what I feared :-/ Angela just told me that she is not
sure if she can finish a distribution archive until tomorrow
and that we might have to wait until Monday for release, so
I'd better not ask you for an extension.

Well, what about a comparison of MakeCD V3.x and MI2 in
Amiga Format then? ;-) However, I'm sure MI2 will work with
the Traxdata as soon as Asim knows the drive ID - MakeCD
simply doesn't require that.

What about using MakeCD instead? AF had paid once for a full
licence to master their CDs, and someone should still have
the registration number. Part of the deal was a free
subscription of AF, and this stopped months ago - either
someone forgot the reason for it (and perhaps the
registration number, too) and didn't extend it or remembered
the reason and decided the we don't deserve it anymore ;-)

Anyway, if you want to have this registration number and
cannot get it from whoever is in charge now at AF, then I
guess it is okay if I give it to you once more. However,
it's for AFCDs only!

Bye, Patrick Ohly
