Matt Dillon: Where has he gone?
yq...@vax5.cit.cornell.edu
I sent away for the registered version of DICE about 2 months ago; about
the time perhaps that Matt Dillon mysteriously disappeared from this
newsgroup. Just my luck. I have not heard anything. Does anyone know
what the deal is with DICE and Dillon right now? Thanks in advance for
any enlightenment on this topic.

Ditto! That's exactly my problem too. I registered for my version around
7 weeks ago and haven't heard a word. I also sent an enquiring message to
his email address of dil...@overload.Berkeley.CA.US but received no response.
If he has decided to stop supporting DICE, it would be nice if he would let
people know or remove the file from the PD DICE distribution that urges
people to register. I certainly can't afford to waste 50 U.S. dollars.
Please, if anyone knows what's going on here, let me know as well.
Thanks for any help.

Matt is in the process of preparing a major new release of DICE, along with
a couple of other notable members of the Amiga community.
As a beta-tester for that DICE, I can tell you that it is worth waiting for.

I am happy to say that Matt Dillon is still around. I finally received a
reply from him today stating that he would be shipping DICE shortly.
There has been a delay because as of late, he has been up to his ears trying
to balance registrations, email and work.
So, Chris Bruns, I guess yours should be forthcoming soon as well. Also, his
email address of dil...@overload.Berkeley.CA.US is still valid.

I have no idea and certainly wouldn't be authorized to answer even if I did
know. :(
We are about to start Gamma though. :)

I recieved from him, in the last few weeks ( DICE bug reports and
such ), I'd guess that he has perhaps moved and gotten a new job???
Still, his well known internet addresses are still valid. Remember,
on of those addresses has "OVERLOAD" in it.
Regards, Aure...@cup.portal.com
PS: if my guesses are right ... Best Wishes Matt.
Matthew Dillon
Same job, new contract, overloaded...
For people who are worrying, the reason I've dropped DNet, AmigaUUCP,
and BSD 4.4 is to be able to concentrate on DICE and my job.

I have noticed your postings in NeXT/blah and I was wondering, since I am
purchasing a NeXT machine, if you have written something that will allow your
Amiga and your NeXT to communicate at something other than the floppy level?
Also we are working on an intuition development environment/tools and would
like to support DICE. If you would mail me the info I need we will register
with you and add DICE support to our system.
