interview with promax of kefrens
 --------------------------------

  hELLO  pROMAX  !   aS WE KNOW THAT YOU ARE VERY KNOWN FOR YOUR
JOB  ON THE sEKA ASSEMBLER, DEMOS'S AND OTHER STUFF, WE FOUND IT
VERY  INTERESTING TO MAKE A 'sPOT' ON YOU, AS THIS ISSUES CODER.
a  LOT  OF  PEOPLE  WOULD  OFCOURSE  LIKE TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR NEW
ASSEMBLER  AND  THINGS  LIKE THAT, BUT WHY DON'T WE START WITH A
LITTLE SELFPORTRAIT?  (AGE, LOOKS, WHERE YOU LIVE E.T.C.!) :

pROMAX :

i'M  21 THE 29TH OF JANUARY 91.  (sEND A BIRTHDAY PRESENT.).  oF
COURSE  i  LOOK  VERY  GOOD.   i HAVE A WELL FIT CODER BODY, BIG
GLASSES  SO  THAT  i CAN SEE MY ASSEMBLER BETTER, AND A HIGHT OF
180,  SO  THAT i CAN MATCH sCHWARTZE..!?!  i LIVE IN vIETNAM (OK
THAT  WAS  rAMBO).   i  LIVE  IN  dENMARK,  MORE  SPECIFIC nORTH
sEALAND.   i  STUDY COMP.  SCIENCE SO THAT i CAN LEARN TO CODE?,
AND  IN  MY SPARETIME i CODE.  (sURPRISE?) i HAVE CODED A LOT OF
DEMOS,  EVEN A FEW GOOD ONES (i THINK).  i HAVE ALSO CODED A LOT
OF OTHER THINGS.


  yOUR  FIRST REAL SUCCES ON THE SCENE WAS BACK IN 89', WHEN YOU
RELEASED  YOUR  FIRST VERSION OF THE sEKA aSSEMBLER v1.5, BUT WE
KNOW  THAT  YOUR FIRST GROUP WASN'T kEFRENS, SO COULD YOU PLEASE
TELL US A BIT ABOUT YOUR WAY TO THE TOP ?

pROMAX :

iF YOU ARE REALLY INTERESTED I CAN GIVE YOU A TIME SCALE:

yEAR eVENT
------------------------------------------------------------
1983  -  i LEARN THE HEX AND BIN NUMBERS, TRIES TO CODE SOME mc.
         mY  FATHER  HAS BEEN A PROF.  PROGRAMMER IN THE DAYS OF
         THE PUNCHED CARDS, SO HE SHOWED ME SOME EXAMPLES.
         lEARNS TO CODE bASIC ON MY FRIENDS zx-sPECTRUM.
1984  -  gET  MY SELF AN oRIC aTMOS.  (tHE FIRM CRACHED 2 MONTHS
         LATER).   i  BEGINS TO CODE mc.  bEGINS TO CODE mc ON A
         FRIENDS c64.(sAME PROCESSOR AS THE oRIC).
1985  -  i GET MY SELF A c128.
1986/7-  mAKES   SOME   DEMOS   UNDER   THE  LABEL  (dI-pRO  OF
         sOFTBUSTERS).  gREAT STUFF!!
         WITH  SIDE  BORDER AND fld.  (hAD NO NAME AT THAT TIME)
1988  -  c64  IS TO BORRING.  sO i BUY AN aMIGA.  aT THAT TIME i
         HAVENT  TOUCHED  MY  c128 HALF A YEAR, (bUT i HAVE READ
         ANY  ARTICLE  ABOUT  THE aMIGA) aTOMIC tEAM IS FOUNDED.
         aND  i  MAKE  MY 7 FIRST DEMOS ON THE aMIGA.  
1989  -  wE  GET  A LITTLE KNOWN, BUT WE HAVE NO SWAPPER.  sO WE
         JOIN kEFRENS IN JANUARY 1989.
      -  iN THE SUMMER i DISASSEMBLE THE sEKA USING THE pROFI-mAT
         ASSEMBLER.  iT GIVES YOU AN OUTPUT LIKE THIS:
         C00010 3200    move.w d0,d1                 ; "2 "
         tHEIR WAS ONLY 7200 LINES SO IT WAS NOT SO FUNNY.
      -  cHRISTMAS i RELEASE sEKA v3.2
1990  -  fEBRUARY WE RELEASE mEGAdEMO viii.  (8 FOR PEOPLE UNDER
         11).
      -  nOVEMBER  MY NEW ASSEMBLER CALLED aSMoNE IS RELEASED BY
         dmv.

  yOU HAVE MADE SOME GREAT UTILITIES, DEMOS E.T.C., BUT HAVE YOU
NEVER  TRIED TO PRODUCE SOME GAMES, SMALL OR BIG ?  wE KNOW THAT
MANY PEOPLE HAVE TRIED TO MAKE SOME GAMES, SO WHY SHOULDN'T YOU,
AND COULD YOU TRY TO DESCRIPE SOME OF THEM TO US ?

pROMAX :

yES,  i  HAVE  STARTED...  oN c64 I LIKED "gHOST & gOBLINS".  sO
WHEN  i  HAD JOINED kEFRENS i BEGAN TO CODE A GAME LIKE THIS, AN
OTHER  GUY FROM kEFRENS SHOULD MAKE THE gfx.  i MADE THE ROUTINE
FOR  SCROLLING,  JUMPING  ONTO ELEVATORS, SHOOTINGS ETC.  BUT NO
GRAPHICS  EVER SHOWED UP.  eVERY TIME A TALKED TO HIM (rAZMO) HE
JUST  SAID:   "i NOT QUITE FINISHED DRAWING THE MAN, SO CANT YOU
GET  IT  A  LITTLE  LATER".  sO 3 MONTHS LATER i CALLED THE DEAL
OFF.   tHE  PROBLEM WITH GAMES IS THAT i DONT LIKE PLAYING THEM.
i  PLAYED  SOME  ADVENTURES  ON THE C64, BUT NEVER ON THE aMIGA.
wHEN  i SEE A GAME, i TURN ON THE TRAINER, LOOKS AT THE CODE AND
GFX,  AND  NEVER  TOUCH  THE THING AGAIN.  tHE ONLY GAMES i HAVE
PLAYED  WITHOUT  TRAINER  IS ON c64:  gHOST & gOBLINS, cOMMANDO,
pARADROID.  aMIGA:  dATASTORM, pARADROID


  eVERYONE  WHO  HAVE  READ THE cRUSADERS eUROCHART LATELY, KNOW
THAT  YOU  ARE  PLACED IN THE TOP, AS A CODER.  cOULD YOU TRY TO
COMMENT THIS POSITION ?

pROMAX :

aS  i MENTIONED IN A OTHER MAG:  iF THEY WANT THE CHART LET THEM
HAVE THE CHART!  i THINK IT IS WRONG TO JUDGE PEOPLE AS BEST.  a
LOT  OF  GOOD  CODERS  IS  NOT  PRESENT ON THE CHART.  tHE CHART
SHOULD  CARRY  THE  NAME  FAVOURITE CODER.  bUT AS ALLWAYS, IF i
WANTED TO CHANGE ANYTHING i COULD BEGIN VOTING.


                                              continued ------->

 -------------------------------

  dID  YOU  THINK  OF  YOURSELF AS AN ASSEMBLER WRITER, WHEN YOU
STARTED  TO  MAKE  A  BETTER  VERSION  OF THE ORIGINAL kUMA sEKA
ASSEMBLER SOME YEARS AGO, OR DID YOU MAKE A BETTER sEKA VERSION,
JUST TO GET KNOWN, OR WHAT WAS THE REASON ?

pROMAX :

tHE  ONLY REASON TO MAKE AN IMPROVED VERSION OF THE sEKA, WAS TO
GET  AN  IMPROVED  VERSION.   i  HAD A LOT OF IDEARS OF THINGS i
WANTED  IN  IT.   sO  THE  FIRST RELEASE (sEKA v3.0) HAD SOME OF
THESE  THINGS.   wHEN PEOPLE FOUND OUT THAT i HAD THE ABILITY TO
MAKE NEW THINGS IN THE sEKA THE DEMANDS BECAME HIGHER.  tHE MAIN
THING  WAS  A NEW EDITOR IN sEKA v3.2.  bUT I HAVE NEVER SAID TO
ANYONE  THAT  i  HAD  MADE AN aSSEMBLER, BECAUSE i HADN'T, i HAD
ONLY  IMPROVED  AN  ALLREADY  EXISTING  VERSION.  i HAD PLANS OF
MAKEING  A  sEKA  v3.3,  BUT  i FOUND OUT THAT THEIR WAS SO MANY
THINGS  i  WANTED  TO  CHANGE,  SO AFTER HAVING MADE AN IMPROVED
VERSION  OF  THE  EDITOR  i REMOVED ANYTHING BUT THIS EDITOR AND
STARTED  FROM  SCRATCH.   iT  WAS  VERY  HARD  WORK.   tHE  MAIN
ASSEMBLER  PART TOOK 1 WEEK TO PLAN AND 5 DAYS TO CODE.  (fROM 8
MORNING   TO   2  NIGHT),  BUT  2-3  WEEKS  TO  DEBUG  IT.   tHE
DISASSEMBLER  TOOK 3 DAYS.  (a LOT OF TABLES HAD TO BE TYPED IN,
IT  WAS  VERY  BORRING).   tHIS  RESULTED  IN  A  FAST ASSEMBLER
ASSEMBLING 50000-70000 LINES/MINUTE, AND IT IS BOTH sEKA, dEVpAC
AND  cODEx  COMPATIBLE.   (yOU KNOW THE STUF WITH INCLUDE-FILES,
SECTIONS,  NESTED MACROS, NESTED CONTITIONAL ASSEMBLY, REPT-ENDR
STATEMENTS  AND  A  LOT  MORE).   a LOT OF OTHER THINGS HAS BEEN
MADE:   sOURCE  LEVEL  DEBUGGER, (sEE YOUR SOURCE, THE TEXT FROM
THE  EDITOR,  WHILE  SINGLE  STEPPING IT).  fULL- SCREEN MONITOR
WITH  DISASSEMBLE,  HEX  AND ASCII DUMP.  a MORE ADVANCED EDITOR
WITH  MACRO  FUNCTIONS.   eVERYTHING  CAN BE ACTIVATED FROM BOTH
KEYBOARD  AND MENUES.  (tHIS IS GOOD BECAUSE IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO
REMEMBER  ANYTHING.) tHE PUBLIC DOMAIN FILEREQUESTER FROM ced IS
ADDED,  BUT  CAN  BE DISABLED IF PEOPLE DONT LIKE IT.  tHESE ARE
THE  MAIN  THINGS IN MY ASSEMBLER, IF YOU DONT BUY THE ORIGINAL,
SO  THAT YOU HAVE THE MANUAL, YOU WILL NEVER FIND OUT OF ALL THE
REST.

iNTERESTED, GET A COPY OF aSMoNE v1.0 FROM:

dmv-vERLAG, pOSTFACH 250, d-3440 eXCHWEGE, gERMANY.


wHAT  ARE  YOUR  AIMS  FOR  THE  FUTURE,  NOW WHEN YOU HAVE SOLD
YOURNEWEST ASS., AND WILL YOU MAKE OTHER ASSEMBLERS ?

pROMAX :

oF  COURSE  i WILL MAKE UPDATES OF THE aSMoNE SO THAT PEOPLE WHO
HAVE  BOURGHT  IT,  CAN GET NEW VERSIONS, WHEN THEY WANT TO.  mY
FEAUTURE  PROJECTS  IS  SECRET  AT  THE  MOMENT.   bUT YES, i AM
WORKING ON A NEW PROGRAM.


 cOULD  YOU  PLEASE TRY TO DESCRIPE THE BEST CODERS IN THE SCENE
TODAY,  AND  i  THINK  i  COULD MENTION dELTA OF rED sECTOR AS A
START :

mY FAVOURITE CODERS ARE:
dELTA/rsi.....(aS YOU HAVE MENTIONED)
tEC/crb.......(tRY  TO  MAKE  PROGGS  THAT DONT CRASH ON BIG FAT
              aGNUS!!)
sLAYER/scx....(a MAN IS HIS DOGS BEST FRIEND)
mETALLION/kEF.(hEAVY IS NOT SO HEAVY WHEN YOU AREN'T FAT!)
tmt/tlc.......(nICE GAMES)

tO DESCRIPE THE ABOVE CODERS WOULD BE A BIG JOB, SO i WONT.

  wHAT DO YOU DO, WHEN YOU ARE NOT SITTING AT HOME FREAKING, AND
YOU  WOULD LIKE TO HAVE FUN AND ENJOY YOURSELF?  dO YOU HAVE ANY
HOBBIES, AND COULD YOU PLEASE DESCRIPE SOME OF THEM ?

pROMAX :

i VISIT PEOPLE (mOSTLY dETRON) AND WE GO TO THE CINEMA AND WATCH
rAMBO  8 AND sCHWARTZE 5.  i GO TO THE LIBRARY AND READ A LOT OF
BOOKS, MAINLY ABOUT COMPUTER DEVELOPMENT AND ALGORITHEMS.  (cOMP
AGAIN EH??).  oNE OF MY NON COMPUTER FAVORITE BOOKS IS "lORDS OF
THE  RINGS".   uMBERTO  eCO'S  BOOK "iL NOME DELLA ROSA" IS VERY
GOOD TOO.  (tHE NAME OF THE ROSE).  tHE BEST MOVIE THIS YEAR WAS
"pRETTY  wOMAN", A VERY FUNNY AND CUTE FILM.  (tOTAL rECALL IS A
GOOD  ACTION  MOVIE,  BUT  i LIKE MY PERSONS TO BE A LITTLE MORE
COLORFUL THAN A CARTOON HERO.  sCHWARTZE IS NOT AS CUTE AS jULIA
rOBERTS).   rEAL  HOBBIES  APART OF MY COMPUTER IS NON EXISTING.
oF  COURSE  i GOT OTHER INTERESTS...  bUT NONE i WILL SHARE WITH
YOU.

                                                continued ----->






 interview with promax continued
 -------------------------------

  wE  KNOW  THAT  YOU  HAVE SOLD YOUR NEW ASSEMBLER aSMoNE, TO A
GERMAN  SOFTWARE  HOUSE.  wHY HAVEN'T YOU SOLD IT TO SOME DANISH
SOFTWAREHOUSE?    wE   KNOW   THAT   THE   DANISH  SOFTWAREHOUSE
iNTERACTIvISION  JUST HAVE RELEASED A SERIE OF SERIOUS SOFTWARE,
INCLUDING  AN  ASSEMBLER.  dIDN'T THEY OFFER YOU ENOUGH MONEY OR
WHAT?

pROMAX :

i NORMALY DONT DISCUSS BUSINESS IN PUBLIC, BUT YES i HAVE TALKED
WITH  iav, BUT THEY WERE UNEXPERINCED AND VERY UNSERIOUS AT THAT
MOMENT.   wHEN  i  SAY UNSERIOUS A TALK ABOUT MONEY.  i WOULDN'T
LIKE  TO  RELEASE  MY PROGGY THRU A FIRM THAT MIGHT NOT EXIST IN
HALF  A YEAR.  sOME OF MY FRIENDS RELEASED PROGRAMS THRU AN FIRM
CALLED  kELELINE  BUT IS CRASHED AND THEY NEVER GOT THEIR MONEY.
sOME OF THE SAME PEOPLE IS RUNNING iav TODAY.


wHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THE SOFTWAREHOUSE, TO WHICH YOU HAVE SOLD
YOU ASS.?

pROMAX:

iT  IS NOT ONLY A SOFTWARE HOUSE IT IS MAINLY A PUBLISHING FIRM.
i  MAKES  6  OR 8 MAGS.  AND HAVE RELEASED A LOT OF PROGRAMS FOR
THE pc.  iT IS 5 YEARS OLD, AND HAS NOW 120 PEOPLE EMPLOYED, AND
ARE  THE  SECOND  BIGGEST  COMPUTER  PUBLISHING  FIRM IN eUROPE.
tHEIR  MAGS  ARE  SOLD  IN 30 CONTRIES.  (aMIGA dos, pc pUR, dos
INT., dos EXTRA, tOOLbOX, dOS tEST mAG., pc aMSTRAD iNT.)


  sOME  LATE  ROMOURS  TELL,  THAT  YOU  HAVE  PLANS  OF LEAVING
kEFRENS.   aRE THESE ROMOURS TRUE, AND WILL/COULD YOU EVER LEAVE
A  GROUP  LIKE kEFRENS, AND WHAT ARE YOUR PERSONAL MEANING ABOUT
ALL  THE MEMBERS AS ONE GROUP?  dO YOU HAVE SOME SPECIAL FRIENDS
IN THE GROUP?

pROMAX:

i  HAVE THOUGHT OF LEAVING kEFRENS, BECAUSE i'M NOT CODING DEMOS
ANYMORE (aT THE MOMENT) SO MAYBE IT WOULD BE MORALY BEST, BUT BY
SECOND  THOUGHT  i  WONT, BECAUSE i'M STILL TO SOME HELP FOR THE
GROUP.   i HELP THE DIFFERENT CODERS SOLVING THEIR PROBLEMS, AND
CHAT  A LOT.  i'M ALSO STILL INTERESTED IN GOING TO COMP PARTIES
ETC.   i  ALSO  TALK  A  LOT WITH dELTA/rsi AND dUKE/tlc, i HAVE
VISITED  THEM  BOTH.   bUT ONE THING IS SURE, DONT EXPECT TO SEE
ANY  DEMOS  FROM MY SIDE, THE NEXT MONTHS.  kEFRENS DONT WANT TO
GET  ANY  MORE KNOWN.  jUST HAVE A GOOD TIME AND TALK WITH A LOT
OF  INTERESTING  GUYS.  pERSONALLY i MOSTLY TALK WITH mETALLION,
dETRON, icRONITE AND mILKSHAKE.


wHAT ARE THE LAMEST PRODUCTION YOU EVER HAVE MADE ON THE aMIGA?

pROMAX:

aLL  DEMOS WAS MENT TO BE GOOD.  bUT THE WORST THING i HAVE EVER
MADE  IS  A LEVEL EDITOR FOR A GAME, A GFX ARTIST WANTED TO MAKE
WITH ME.  iT WAS TOTALLY USELESS AND COULD DO NOTHING AT ALL, SO
HIS GAME PLANS WERE FORTUNATELY DROPPED.  i THINK THE WORST DEMO
WAS  THE  ONE AT THE hEXAGON PARTY IN 1988.  iT STARTED WITH THE
SPACE  CRAFT  eNTERPRISE FLYING ACROSS THE SCREEN, FOLLOWED BY A
LONG  SAMPLE,  THE  SURFACE  FROM  A PLANET SHOWED UP AND A UGLY
SCROLLER WAVED OVER THE SCREEN AND NOTHING MORE.


yOU  GOT  AN  OFFER  FROM THE DANISH tv2, WHO WANTED YOU TO CODE
THEIR NEWEST tv-SUCCES, CALLED hugo.  wHY DID YOU REFUSE TO CODE
THIS GAME?

pROMAX:

tHE  MAIN  REASON  IS THAT i WAS CODING MY ASSEMBLER.  tHE OTHER
REASON  IS  THAT IS WAS RATHER MESSY.  tWO GUYS (sMART GUYS) HAD
TALKED WITH tv2 ABOUT MAKING A GAME TO AN ENTERTAINMENT PROGRAM.
tHE  GUY c.hEAT HAD ALLREADY PRODUCED THE TWO EARLIER GAMES USED
IN  tv.  tHE NEW GUY s.wINDLER WANTED TO GET THE NEW JOB INSTEAD
OF  c.hEAT,  BUT  HE  HADN'T GOT A CODER.  sO HE CONTACTED p.mAX
(tHATS ME).  hE TOLD ME THAT c.hEAT WAS TRYING TO CHEAT, AND WAS
A SWINDLER.  i DIDN'T KNOW c.hEAT AT THAT MOMENT.  s.wINDLER NOT
EVEN WANTED ME TO CODE THE NEW GAME, BUT ALSO A MUCH BIGGER GAME
FOR  tv.   tO CODE THIS HE WANTED ME TO QUIT SCHOOL.  bECAUSE AS
HE  SAID,  i HAD TO LOOK AT LIFE IN A MUCH BIGGER PERSPECTIVE, i
HAD TO THINK ABOUT MY FUTURE.  (i COULDN'T QUITE FOLLOW HIM, BUT
AS  i  SAID HE WAS A SMART GUY, HE HAD ALSO QUIT HIS STUDY, WHEN
HE  WAS  AT  MY  AGE, AND LOOK AT HIM NOW, AND i looked !?!).  i
ONLY  HAD  TO CODE THE LITTLE GAME AND i COULD HAVE DONE THAT IN
MY  SUMMER  HOLIDAY,  BUT  i  DIDN'T  DARE.   iF WE HAD RUN INTO
PROBLEMS  HE  COULD  HAVE  FORCED ME TO QUIT MY STUDIES, AND WHO
WANTS  $6000  ONE  TIME,  INSTEAD  OF  $4000  EACH  MONTH MAKING
SOMETHING INTERESTING.

                                                continued ----->

 interview with promax continued
 -------------------------------
  wHAT  DO  YOU  THINK ABOUT THE fRIENDSHIP oRGANIZATION?  iS IT
TRUE  THAT  THE SCENE MANY MANY YEARS AGO WAS FRIENDLY, OR IS IT
JUST CRAP?

pROMAX:

fRIENDSHIP  IS  A  GOOD THING, BUT IF IT IS POSSIBLE TO ORGANIZE
FRIENDSHIP,  I'M  NOT  SURE.  tHEIR WILL ALWAYS BE PEOPLE MAKING
FRIENDSHIP  AND  PEOPLE  MAKING  BUSINESS.  cOMPETITION CAN BE A
GOOD  THING,  BUT IT CAN ALSO DESTROY FRIENDSHIP.  fRIENDSHIP IS
NOT  THE  SAME  AS  SENDING 5 DISK/WEEK TO A plk.  fRIENDSHIP IS
TALKING WITH PEOPLE AND HAVING FUN.  aND IT IS HARD TO HAVE FUN,
IF  YOU ALLWAYS FEEL THAT YOU HAVE TO COMPETE WITH GUYS YOU TALK
TO.   a  GOOD HINT:  rELAX A LITTLE MORE, TRY TO CONTACT SOME OF
THE GUYS THAT HAVE THE SAME INTERESTS AS YOU, VISIT THE GUY ETC.
tHATS WHAT FRIENDSHIPS ARE FOR.

wHY DONT YOU HAVE FOREIGN MEMBERS IN kEFRENS?

pROMAX:

wE  HAVE  LIMITED OUR MEMBERS TO dENMARK BECAUSE, IF EVERYONE IN
THE  GROUP IS GOING TO HAVE A CHANCE TO GET FRIENDS WITH ALL THE
OTHERS,  THEY  HAVE  TO  LIVE  AS NEAR AS POSSIBLE.  iN ONE TOWN
WOULD BE A GOOD THING, BUT IT IS HARD TO FIND ONE TOWN WITH MORE
THAN ONE OR TWO GOOD CODERS/MUSIC-/GFX ARTISTS.

 aRE  YOU  THE LEADER IN kEFRENS, IF YES WHY, OR WHY NOT, AS YOU
SURE ARE THE BEST CODER IN kEFRENS?

pROMAX:

iM  NOT  THE LEADER, ONLY ONE OF THE 3 ORGANIZERS.  i HAVE A BIG
WORD TO SAY IN kEFRENS, BUT i LISTEN TO THE OTHERS, AND ASK THEM
IF  i  WANT  SOME THING CHANGED.  iF NOT MOST OF THE GUYS IN THE
GROUP  AGREE, NOTHING IS CHANGED.  i DONT KNOW IF THE OTHER GUYS
LISTEN  MORE  TO  ME THAN TO A MORE UNKNOWN MEMBER, i DONT THINK
SO/HOPE  SO,  BUT  OF  COURSE, IF i MUST BE A LITTLE SELFISH, IT
MIGHT BE EASIER TO LOSE A INACTIVE GUY THAN A MORE ACTIVE ONE.


iF  YOU  GOT AN OFFER FROM E.G.  sCOOPEX fINLAND, rED sECTOR iNC
E.T.C,  WHICH WOULD OFFER YOU MEMBERSHIP, WOULD YOU REFUSE THAT?
wHY?

pROMAX:

i  HAVE  NOT MUCH TO OFFER, iF i JOINED A NEW GROUP i WOULD HAVE
TO  MAKE  SOMETHING,  NOT  TO GET BAD CONSCIENCE.  i HAVEN'T GOT
INTEREST  IN MAKING A LOT OF NEW DEMOS.  wHY JOIN THEM, i CAN BE
PERFECTLY  GOOD  FRIENDS  WITH  THEM,  WITHOUT JOINING THEM.  iT
WOULD  EVEN  BE POSSIBLE TO MAKE A DEMO TOGETHER WITH THEM IF WE
WERE INTERESTED.


wHAT  DO  YOU THINK ABOUT MODEMTRADING, PHREAKING, CHEATING WITH
CALLINGCARDS  AND  CRACKING NEW GAMES (WHICH EVEN NOT ARE IN THE
SHOPS YET!!) ?

pROMAX:

tHE  WORST THINK IS NOT DOING IT, IT IS THAT MANY PEOPLE CAN NOT
EVEN  SEE THAT IT IS WRONG.  mANY PEOPLE HAVE THE ATTITUDE:  wHY
PAY  WHEN  YOU  CAN  GET  IT FOR FREE.  iT IS LIKE STEALING IN A
WAREHOUSE,  IT  IS A BIG FIRM THAT CANT FEEL IT ETC.  bUT 80% OF
THE  GUYS MAKING GAMES/PROGRAMS ARE JUST LIKE YOU AND ME.  iT IS
NOT  A BIG FIRM, IT IS YOUR FRIENDS YOU ARE STEALING FROM.!!  aN
OTHER  ATTITIDE  IS:   hEY iM A MEMBER OF THIS NEW GROUP, WE ARE
MEMBERS OF THE SCENE, SO CANT WE GET A COPY OF YOUR NEW PROGRAM,
EH?!   aND  OF  COURSE THEY SAY, LAMERS HAS TO BUY THE PROGRAMS.
(i ASK MY SELF, WHO IS THE LAMER HERE??).
