Robert is so busy copying and pasting the same message to every forum, newsgroup and mailing list he can find that he doesn't have time to check if what he's posting is accurate. It's the price we have to pay for his dedication.

Shall I followup at every other forum too?

I thought Alan was a denial member.

So, I found it odd that someone else would make the annoucement.

He sure is. This is him.

Especially one who got all bent out of shape when Jim Brain referred to him as an 'unofficial mouthpiece for the community'.

I don't.

Alan has almost disappeared from the Denial community. That's too bad.

I chat with him every now and then.

64NAV is a great creation. I have 64HDD and I am sure I will find it very useful. The only sad part is, it has been created using DotBASIC which is not available on the VIC-20.

He announced 64Nav at Lemon last year. Perhaps he didn't make the announcement at Denial because the software doesn't run on a VIC?
