What happened to cersoft.com?

Apologies if I've missed this, but does anyone know why the sim demos at cersoft.com have been taken down (and, more importantly, if they'll ever be back)? The paragraph on the site just says: "This may be a bit of a shock but I have taken the demos off line because of impending developments, I am not sure where things are heading and so there will be no immediate updates of the simulator. Other software will continue to be developed in my spare time ....." which is no kind of explanation at all - "impending developments" could mean anything. I hope there's not been any legal problem over the demo - I can't see why there should be, but lawyers tend to be involved when a program is removed without either warning or proper explanation... -- "After all, a mere thousand yards... such a harmless little knoll, really" - Raymond Mays on Shelsley Walsh.

Hello, don't worry it is good "impending developments", pretty much guarantees the fruition of the sim to the end which was in some doubt given the previous time limits. In plain english, because my free time was too limited I've decided to finish the sim 'in-house', hopefully my ambitions for the project will not be compromised TOO much ;-) Colin

Finally an excuse to buy a gamecube :) I guess I have exactly 8 years to catch up with you! I'll probably need it ;) Glad everything is going well! Ash

Thankyou, Colin! I'm really grateful for you taking the time to explain the situation, and I wish you good luck with the project. Just so long as it's finished before WSC... ;-) -- "After all, a mere thousand yards... such a harmless little knoll, really" - Raymond Mays on Shelsley Walsh.
