In reply to Comment 9 (Ben Yoris):
> I didn't want to blame greenboy or anyone else.
I know Ben, I picked up on that.
> I hope as you say that the benefits from Phoenix will be obvious soon.
As do I. It's a lot of work and there is no guarantee of success. However the benefits will be obvious, whether it succeeds or not. Progress is continuing at a steady pace, but that is all that can be said.
> But I share the feeling of basic, non coder, Amiga user who for the moment

Phoenix has a primary goal. The creation of a commercially viable business environment for developers(predominantly Amigan) to operate in. Do you not see a need for this?
> Anyway for me, any single team, project or even reflexion upon the Amiga is a > good thing : because they're few !
Which is one reason why Phoenix has taken so much effort to build. It's not exactly easy to model a market which is by it's very nature designed to lose money. As time passes this becomes increasingly difficult since companies like Phase 5 who went into insolvency take others with them. It may seem that only Phase 5 is affected, or that because DCE have stepped in that everything is tickety boo. It is quite the opposite. DCE are not going to be able to meet the initial demands of companies like White Knight who have lots of orders on hold. Smaller companies WILL go under if that money makes up a good sized percentage of their working capital. Not everyone will wait until new production lines are ramped up. You may see White Knight as a dealer and not a developer. Phoenix would disagree.
I hope this clarifies some issues for you.
Mario.
