I have reas with some dimay your answer regarding the IOW simulation and it being on the back burner for future development. Bearing in mind the interest in the IOW railway among the general railway enthusiasts and public visiting the IOW are you not missing a valuable market which could add more money to finance your other endeavours. By not pursueing the Windows market and continuing to develop DOS based railway simulations, as good as they are, I feel you are missing a trick. This IOW simulation concerns as far as dammit, a complete and unique, railway operation at a moment in time that chimes with the heridatory market and with all ranges of activity from a quiet Sunday to full bore holiday Saturday It is complex yet not too hard on the easy levels to attract a new group of users who would happily buy the other simulations once they had mastered the IOW.

Have you asked the present IOW railway asssociation if they have any special anniversary event coming up and if so could you not pull the stops to be ready for a marketing opportunity?

Sorry, but it isn't intended to release any updates to the Windows version of this program at this time.

The program was only intended to be a Windows demonstration of the original DOS version to obtain customer opinions for future Windows-based software, and we have been happy with the response we have had.
We are very busy developing our next offerings which is taking up a lot of our time. Once these are complete, we may consider polishing up the demo and releasing a full version to offer in parallel with the DOS version.

Brian.

I thought the experimental version of this was good but the full version is absolutely excellent. Plenty of thrills here and I have only run the Sunday WTT so...
