Hello PageStreamAmigaBeta@egroups.com
I emailed twice and sent money for Metaview with no answer. I may have lost
the $20 but hesitate to deposit the money straight into his bank account if
he really isn't there to even answer emails. Suggestions?

Yes. Download MetaView from Aminet. Except for the absence of an ARexx
link, this is a perfectly usable program, and can do all the necessary
conversions.

ack, sounds like we may have lost another talented Amiga programmer. Sad
It is my custom that if I don't receive any response to my email, I don't
send the money. In other words, I wouldn't deposit money into his bank
account either...

It has been a while since I reigsterd Metaview, but I seem to recall I had
to wait *quite* a while for it to arrive. A couple of months as I recall!

Ah well, as someone else already replied, Metaview is still usefull even
unregistered!
