*** Palmscape Special Announcement ***
*** Newsreader and IRC Discontinued ***

It is with great regret that we must announce that the Newsreader and IRC applications previously advertised through Palmscape have been discontinued, with no plans for future releases.

Unfortunately the author who was writing these applications has decided not to continue with the project due to his increased responsibilities at work.

These applications have been a source of great embarrassment to Palmscape, who had advertised their release in good faith after the author informed us that they would be completed shortly, and that he would like us to release the Alpha and beta versions to the general public.

Without any notice to ourselves the author decided not to continue developing these applications, and did not reply to emails from customers. We have made every effort to try and keep the Psion community happy be getting the Alpha version to as many people as possible, however the situation is now becoming untenable.

As you are aware, Palmscape is a publishing house for software developed by independent authors. Palmscape has no direct control over these authors. In this case the author of this software has put us in a very difficult position, which has left us no alternative but to discontinue this range.

Palmscape never had any direct control over these applications. They were not available from our Internet site. The author made the sole decision not to continue developing the software, and also not to send out Alpha version that had been requested.

We would like to personally apologise on behalf of Palmscape for the 
difficulties some people have experienced with Newsreader and IRC. We have asked the author to supply us with a registration code generator for anyone who has registered this software, so that we may try to supply codes, however Palmscape will not be dealing with any more registrations relating to these products.

In the meantime if you have registered one of these products since 98-10-10 and have not received a registration code, please email the relevant address: -  newsreader@palmscape.com or irc@palmscape.com.

In your mail, please inform us of the date you registered and the method (regnet / cheque / bank draft). If you registered through Regnet, please do not forget to quote your transaction number. We will then do our utmost to get a registration code to you, or arrange a full refund.

Please note that email address quoted in the software to contact the author has been discontinued, and the author removed from the Palmscape group.

Thank you for your understanding in this matter.
