Digital Almanac - RIP

[blobrana]

Hum,
It looks like the astronomy program Digital Almanac has been terminated...
The creator of the program has decided to give up all development on the Amiga software.

It seemed as if DA (OS4) was earmarked for a release later this year, but poor sales of the Morphos version have convinced him that Da os4 won't sell....

This is a pity.
A platform like Amiga deserves decent/serious software

It's definitely a pity, but in small markets its the specialist software that goes first. Maybe 1 in 500 users need an astronomy program. Considering there are about 1200 current MOS users (at a push), that doesn't translate into big sales...

that is a shame. I always enjoyed Distant Stars way back when.......
And after discovering linux, they have something called KStars which is very cool indeed. but then, i could spend hours looking at spacy stuff. :-P
