I had saved a HTML page from Hans-Peter Recktenwald about his T6 software half a decade ago, it says:
"NUR nichtkommerzielle unentgeltliche Weitergabe und entsprechende Verwendung erlaubt, alles dar�ber hinausgehende bedarf der ausdr�cklichen handschriftlichen Genehmigung. Aufnahme von T6 oder M89 oder Teilen daraus in andere Erzeugnisse impliziert, da� jene in wenigstens demselben Ma�e freigegeben sind, unabh�ngig von ggf. dort anderslautenden Angaben. Aufnahme von T6 oder M89 in Softwarearchive zwecks Weitergabe ist nur mit Hinweis auf den Ursprung erlaubt. Grund: Ich will nicht f�r veraltete Versionen verantwortlich gemacht werden." This roughly translates to: "ONLY non-commercial, free distribution and use allowed, everything beyond that requires explicit handwritten approval. Inclusion of T6 or M89 or parts thereof in other creations implies, that they are released at least with the same degree of freedom, regardless of possibly differing statements made there. Inclusion of T6 or M89 in software archives for distribution is only allowed if reference to the origin is provided. Reason: I don't want to be held responsible for outdated versions." There seem to be at least 4 variants of HPR's TK2 replacement: T6M89 and T6M97 : System extensions following the TK2 (version 2.13) example. Combined with extensions from the Turbo toolkit. Specialized for Minerva 1.89 / 1.97. No support for NET and MDV, only tested under UQLX, but according to HPR adaption for other systems possible. T6M89v94 and T6M97v94 : Rewritten, extended to 32K code area (whatever that means), specialized ONLY for UQLX. I can not remember personal experiences with these variants. Also I can't say wether they were written from scratch or upon a free (?) TK2 version. If one has less demand for features, but wants working, free, open-source software: There's a freeware BASIC toolkit from Mark Swift with many TK2/TURBO like commands under: http://www.mswift.unisonplus.net/ql/files/QZ/UTIL/REXT/PDTK.zip All the best Peter
