Gary Knight's AmiDock

Hi! I'm looking for the latest versions of Gary Knight's AmiDock.

Fish disks and Aminet give the 1.3 version, but as a registered user I received the 1.4.5 -- if I remember correctly -- on a disk sent to me by Gary. My disk is long lost though and I would like to find the very latest version of this tool.

BTW does anybody know Gary? can he still be contacted? I would love to ask for the sources if ever they're preserved.

of not much help, but i only can find version 1.45 mentioned in an index file, of a _lost_ iso image: CD02: P1709 AMIDOCK V1.45.DMS
"AGA Utilities CD v2.0" - this is cd03 - cd01 and cd02 missing on the ftp.
150gb of data and this tool just appears once in an index file of a lost iso. things are strange sometimes :/

#1) about Gary Knight - mentioned on the Pagestream product description on amigafuture.de.
pagestream.org is still alive. maybe they are still working on that software.
you can try the contact us page - maybe u can get some info about gary that way.

I found this info:
AmiDock (shareware) was written privatly by Gary Knight. It shouldn't be too
hard to find. It is on the Soft-Logik BBS and Portal (see below).

No offense meant. old messages underlines the assumption, Gary was later working for Soft-Logik.

Yes I've wrote to Pagestream (Soft Logic?) support mail address indeed, as suggested by emufan... waiting and hoping for an answer now ;-)

Deron kindly answered, saying that Gary was great guy but he left SoftLogik 18 years ago and Deron never heard from him after...

:-/

I'll have to try other ways to track him down. Anybody here is in St Louis and does it sound realistic to look for him in such a town?

thanks for the update. pity, but at least you received an answer.
people tend to ego-surf, so there is allways a little chance he might find this post
