@Jope
Thanks for the behind the scenes story and weblink!
I bet I could hazard a guess at which Aminet maintainer it was that the feud was with!
I gather that despite the feud that CHRKUM would've still opted for his software to be available on Aminet then?
In any case, you're so right with your last point....further development of
NewFileMaster would be very much welcomed by the Amiga masses currently in existence!
