Due to the top secret nature of the project, the developers are all on an
uncharted island 100 miles off the SE coast of Florida. This island is only
reachable by very small boat. This is to evade the watchfull eye of the US
DEA who might consider larger boats to be drug smugglers. I think if you
row out there in a 14' skiff they will very definately take your query
seriously and let you onto the island. I bet from there you will be shown,
maybe even given, ALL source code for the compiler.

At this secret facility they also keep all 3rd party products. The key
difference between these products and those released to the poor,
unsuspecting VO users, is that they all work perfecty, under all conditions,
have perfectly formatted manuals in 15 different languages, and again,
include source code.

HTH,
Mark


BTW - Brian, is it still hurricane season down there<g>?

Gary,

I'm of mostly Scottish/Welsh extraction. Didn't the Brits send my
rabble-rouser ancestors to Oz? They must have missed a few that later
escaped to the States.

Attend a conference and you will get the "official" list direct from Brian
himself.

But if you were following the ng consistently you would have also seen
formal announcements from Brian in the NG, including the addition of Paul
Piko, John Parker and Rober van der Hulst and their roles. And there are
others. But do you know the development team of InstallShield... or Wyse...
os StarOffice... or DiskKeeper ...or Help & Manual... or even Windows XP?
Where do other companies "publish" a list of names of all those involved?
Generally they don't. This is not a backyard or toy operation. Just sit
back, shut up, watch and learn.

Work is going very well. As many of you know, we have added Paul Piko
and John Parker to the development team. Robert Van der Hulst has also
come on board as of this month.

Brice de Ganahl(Author of FlexFile)
Don Caton (Worked on FlexFile, and Comix)
Brian Feldman (Worked on all the above )

And this profound knowledge affects my choice of VO as a development tool in
what way?

snip[ Brian Feldman (Worked on all the above ) ]

I think he may have worked on all these people.. you know a Beer here and
there.. but I am not so sure he worked on ALL these products cutting code. I
am sure he worked on ALL the bugs at some stage though.

He probably created them by virtue of the fact that he worked on the people in
the manner you have stated. :)

Some info from April 2002:

David is fine. I speak to him on a weekly basis via phone
not to mention the numerous emails we exchange each week.
He has a number of projects that he is working on, including
a TCP/IP Version of Fortress Client Server for 32bit Clients
