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 
losed
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 
ge
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 
oeslunde,
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 
eriod
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 
losed.
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@image.dk address. I should be able to access it from the 
chools
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.
