A little project where we try to locate the source code for future preservation for programs on aminet that never had the source released. As you know, most often the authors have changed email many times since their uploads, so for every source code a little detective work needs to be done. And then... do they want to release the source? Do they even have the source left?

Looking for the following authors:

Bilbo the first of Hypnoseis (who was the fellow behind this nick?) - author of RunLame, 8svx2hp48sx
Thomas König - author of A4 - Commodore A4 emulator
Patrik Hess - author of cdplaylib, 2iso and more
Stefan Crimi - author GadEdit
Marcus Trisdale - author of AnsiView

Sources that has been preserved, i.e. released and uploaded to aminet is about 100++ so far.
I am a bit lazy, just follow the twitter account to see releases

EDIT 2: I really need help with this project. Anyone interested in helping out finding source code, PM me.
