In Paderborn on Tuesday I had the luck to stand directly beneath
Johann de Koning (I was really surprised to see him there), when
he was beeing interviewed by a young guy. I "made big ears", when
Johann was asked exactly this question. I hope that I don't say
anything wrong, but it will be in one of the magazines anyway in
the near future, so here it goes: From what I understood, it is
very unlikely, that CM7000 will include a new engine. There seems
to be a new engine (3.x), but, if I understood that right, it is
a financial question and a question of the contract. But Johann
didn't want to say anything concrete about the reasons, although
the young guy tried hard to get any news from Johann.
So, anybody listening, if you want to see a new engine in CM7000,
storm Mindscape, tell them that Johanns engines are worth gold,
and that you want to see a new engine, no matter what it costs
(for Mindscape). ;-)
Heiko.
P.S.: I really hope, it wasn't wrong to publish this. As I said,
Johann de Koning didn't want to say much about it...
