Wow.. so it's all true! (btw - that file was posted at the end of June). So much for that "official word" we had here from Micropose a month or two back.. I guess those are "public" files as all you have to do is go to their "Edgar" search engine, and type in a company name.. Now I can find out what any business is up to :o) Any other *** companies giving us the "denial routine"? Check them out!! doktorB >Amazing what you can find on the web >[link lost in import]

I read the article the link is going to and the only thing the article is, is a notification of a "re-org". A "re-org" is a REORGanization of a company. Such as a company name change, stock offer, stock split, or a take over from another company. I know, this is what I do for a living. I work in the securities industry. In this case it is a simple name change. From MICROPROSE INC to MICROPROSE INC/DE. Sorry folks, I guess we still have to wait. ;-) -- Jim Dunphy The Pits www.theuspits.com To err is human, to moo is bovine. >Amazing what you can find on the web >[link lost in import] >WORLD CIRCUIT RACING-TM- BRAND > This series of products lets the player take the wheel in >simulations of >real world car races.

In order to get people to buy your stocks, you need to tell them what they'll buy. And what's more important, the company's plans for the future. Investors wont buy stocks in a company that says; eh, well, we, eh, had this, eh, great sim, but I dont know if we are, eh, actually going to do anymore, eh, at all, ehh, nope, no more developement, but buy our stocks, indeed, oh by the way, we are making a split... Carl Ribbeg?rdh Jim Dunphy wasn't right on track...
The background to the article is immaterial - the one salient fact which interests the group is the documented evidence of a link between GP3 development and Microprose. Beyond that the article may just as well be telling us that MPS are planning a moon shot. Cheers! John
In this months edition of PC Gamer in the UK, the section on the contents of next months magazine says that they hope to be the first magazine to get a look at GP3. Jonathan

I saw it as well, it is in the September issue No.60, It's got Tomb Raider 3 on the front. Inside it says coming next month "World exclusive reviews of GP Legends, Colin McRae Rally and Superbike World Champ." Also "GRAND PRIX 3! All being well we'll be the first magazine in the world to take a look at Geoff Crammond's next sure-fire masterpiece." It is supposed to be out on 29th August, the magazine,not GP3 that is :-)
