The DDJ I just got (March 98) has a full-page ad for the crypto CD (p.113) saying inter alia "New Release! fast Search Engine"
Has anyone received even the "old release"?

I called them up a couple weeks ago to ask about this. The person I talked to had clearly fielded this question quite a few times. The story he gave is that preparation of the master CD was farmed out to some particular individual contractor who was stalling. I got the impression that I was being told that the contractor was apparently imcompetant, and could not turn in a usable master in a timely fashion. There was also some mention of the possiblity of 'legal difficulties', though I was given no details on that.

pure bullshit. that would have been easily enough remedied --get another contractor or invest $3K for top of the line equipment (<$1K if you dont mind fiddling) and do it yourself. there may be a problem on their part to pay for the mastering and the first press run. if that's the case, a few of us should try to acquire their publshing rights and get the job over with.
There was also some mention of the possiblity of 'legal difficulties', though I was given no details on that.
1) the creditor lawyers? 2) more likely the Feds under EAR since there is code on the disk and they know full well the mean time to export is <60 minutes. the first option is solvable as in the contractor problems. the second option, well... you know the drill. maybe Peter Junger would like to front this and add it to his open ended actions with the Feds? whatever... but let's DO something; anytime I can get reference material in a searchable, displayable format, I've already got my wallet open. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.3i Charset: latin1 Comment: No safety this side of the grave.
