I would appreciate it if someone from Papyrus would shed some light on the future of Nascar Racing for the Mac: Is Nascar 2 Mac in the works? If so, when might it be released (ballpark), and will it work with the NRO system? Will future releases (N3?) be released simultaneously for Windows and the Mac, or will the Mac version continue to lag behind? I am enjoying the current version very much, and I'm looking forward to continued development of the Mac version. Jim

I too am interested in Papyrus's plan for future Mac releases. I would love to have a "spotter" like NASCAR2. Also, what are your plans for validated results and scoring files for off-line racing series? Stan

We are evaluating the sales of the Mac product, the costs of doing a Mac product, and the strategic advantage (if any) of being multi-platform. From the numbers I've seen, I don't imagine that future products will be released on the Macintosh at all. That's not a company decision, but if I were a bettin' man, that's where my money would go. If the Mac sales pick up, or the decision is made to support the Mac for strategic (and not profit-oriented) motives, you'll get your wish; it doesn't look likely. ---Jim Sokoloff, Papyrus, but guess-timating for myself here.

I believe that the first patch (for N2-PC) will offer "weak" (in a cryptographic sense) authentication for results files for off-line leagues. (I can't swear to it, but I know Charlie and I had a discussion of various schemes for doing this, and I think he's putting it in...) ---Jim Sokoloff, Papyrus
