By the by, after attempting to negotiate with Sydex
about a single user
license for Teledisk pro (the 150 dollar license they sell is a 25 user
site license) and failing, I've resolved not to do business with them again
and have removed Teledisk 2.16 (which turned out to be a hacked version)
from my system as well as 22disk, which is their utility for copying to and
from CPM disks. Good software, but not worth what they want for it. It's
DOS mode software for pete's sake.
Being that Teledisk is an important piece of software for us vintage
computer enthusiasts, it might be worth our while to petition Sydex to
create a low-cost hobbyist license to make it affordable. Or we could all
pitch in for a 25-user "site" license and just claim our office is
"distributed".
Or, a certain author of XenoCopy who is subscribed to this list could
take this as a great opportunity to start actively marketing his program
again (which IMO is better than Teledisk).
