Subject: Who owns.....

As a long lingering thought about the FileStore firmware, not to mention 
other stuff, I was wondering:

   1. Does anybody know who actually now OWNS the rights to this? Would
      it be Castle? Would it be Pace? Was the 8 bit stuff just forgotten?

   2. Does anybody know who actually HAS the source codes, even if
      partial? I have a horrible feeling this may also be a "lost to
      time" or "unreadable ancient disc" or somesuch - but I guess it
      is worth pursuing?

The v.140 firmware contains the message:
     The Stacking FileStore was devised and created by the following; Ram
     Bannergee, David Burling, Brian Cockburn, Carl Dellar, Joe Dunn,
     Laurence Hardwick, Andrew Hinchley, Steve Love, Glen Nicholls, Mike
     Oakley, Brian Robertson, Hugo Tyson, and Jes Wills.
Are they still active in the scene? (oh look, Hugo and Jes... where have 
I seen that before? ;-) ).


Fingers crossed,

Rick.
