Something that might be considered is to start the "Don Maslin Bootdisk
Software Archive" since this might be a way of addressing the needs of
everyone. Perhaps Winnie also needs to understand that *many* people
have contributed to the archive and it is *very* unlikely that Don would
have wanted "his" archive to become unavailble to the community he
supported.
However, that all being said I am of the opinion after carefully reading all
the posts on this topic that I've seen... that Winnie has no intention
whatsoever to let go of the documentation and/or software. One could imagine
she needs to hold on to it as something tangible of Don. One could imagine
that based on the way some things were phrased, that she is under the
(false) impression it is worth a kings ransom in real dollars and is holding
off disposition because she's frantically searching for an appraiser to tell
her what she wants to hear. I'm not making judgements here, just pondering
the technical possibilities.
Kind regards,
