Hello All.

I have good news and bad news.

The good news is that I have been able to save my company! :-)  As I wrote
last time, I had to choose between job, education or welfare on the side.
As it turned out, it was very limited what welfare help I could get, and if
I closed my company, I would owe a large sum for the VAT of the computer
equipment I bought for the business. Weighing the factors carefully, I
chose to keep my company. I am still going to take the education. The
education is Bachelor of Engineering and will take 3 1/2 years. It begins
in august, but due to the age of my exams, I have to take a
"brush-up" course in math from now until the normal education
begins. The school is horribly far from my home in Boeslunde, and public
transportation takes 2 hours each way. Because of this, I have chosen (had
to choose) to move to a room in a student hostel a few hundred meters from
the school. I'm moving a lot of my stuff there already today. I don't know
my exact address yet, but I'll let you know as soon as I can.

The bad news is that I am unable to pay my phonebill, so I have to close my
FidoNet nodes for an unknown period of time, starting right now. In the
period where I am out of FidoNet, I will ask one of the reg/support sites
to forward messages for me.

Because my company was not closed, I am hereby *revoking* the freeware
status of GoldED and withdrawing the free key with the serial number
7777DK7. Future versions (2.51 and next 3.00.Alpha) will not recognize the
key as valid. Please stop using it.

In other words, GoldED is now again *shareware* and payment is once again
required if you decide to keep it after the evaluation period.

PLEASE NOTE, however, that not all of the former reg.sites will be opened
again. Specifically, the FidoNet Zone 1 coordinator and his sites have
closed. Replacements will be set up as soon as possible, if possible, but
it may take some time. Because of my temporary pause from FidoNet,
communication between me and the reg.sites may be difficult, so please have
patience while we are sorting out the mess.

Until I'm back in FidoNet (which may possibly be only as a point, at least
in the beginning), you can only send me mail via Internet. Until further
notice, use the odinn{at}image.dk address. I should be able to access it from
the schools Internet connection. I should be getting a school-specific
Internet address soon. I will let you know what it is when I get it. For
regular status updates, try checking out my homepage at
http://www.winet.dk/goldware. I haven't had time to update it with all the
new happenings, but I hope to get it updated within the next week.

Odinn
