The Past:
  ---------

  Maybe you have noticed that Aplayer doesn't appear on aminet anymore ..

  Well, is case you don't know, or you already know, why, here's an
  explanation:

  Peter Kunath, who is the maker of the player Delitracker, has accused  us
  of having stolen various pieces of code from his replayer routines. This,
  among others, concerned the FTM, Hippel-(COSO) and other players.

  We are sorry to admit that he is right and he has got an apology from us.
  But  hereby  we  now gives him, and Frank Riffel, an official apology. We
  are very sorry.

  To solve the problem being banned from Aminet, we have now removed the
  players containing Delitrackers code. This will hopefully not cause to
  much inconvinience to the users of APlayer ..

  APlayer will still be able to use the old player libraries from previous
  releases of APlayer, but for moral reasons we have to urge you to delete
  them!

  Once again, our apologies to Peter and Frank, and then on to something
  hopefully brighter - the future of APlayer ..


  The Future:
  -----------

  The next version of APlayer is probably not to appear before this years
  Christmas-time, because of some major plans:

  · The whole APlayer code will be rewritten/converted to C. This will
    hopefully make a portation to other computer platforms/CPU's easier.
    In the future we will hopefully get Power Amigas, or maybe the Bebox
    will gain market (it looks like a possible cool platform :)

  · Because a conversion/rewriting is a very hard and lengthy
    process, the next APlayer will as mentioned probably not appear
    before Christmas 96.

  · While reprogramming the whole stuff, a new and improved graphical
    interface will be implemented (Not MUI), including font sensitivity,
    4/8 colour interface (probably MagicWB-style) and even more along the
    road.

  We hope that you, the user of APlayer, can understand and accept our
  decisions on the way APlayer is going to develop in the future.

  Because the rewriting demands pretty much from the one and only
  programmer, Thomas Neumann, he can not also use any time for developing
  new players, noteplayers or fix bugs.

  Therefore we ask you to step forward and be a volunteer! Can you
  program Amiga assembler, do you have some (or much) knowlegde of the
  amiga audio system ? and do you want to become part of the APlayer
  project ?

  Then here is your chance .. Write a letter (E-mail) to one of the
  addresses you find here. We will ofcourse supply you
  with any information/source you need to be a developer.

  We are looking forward to some hopefully serious contacts :)

  Now have fun with APlayer 2.11 ..
