A new Message about iFusion
Original message:
«We have encountered a few problems with the compiler we were using for
the Amiga. Today, H&P (makers of the compiler) are to email us a new
(corrected) version that should fix the problems that we have run into.
It came to the point where we could no longer make work-arounds for the
compiler errors.
We would like to publically thank H&P for their continued support of
this project! The Amiga version of iFUSION is the base code for the PC
port.»
