Sigh. I guess this needs to be posted more frequently. I posted it
once, and this thread has gone off on an irrelevant tangent. I repeat once
again: WE HAVE OBTAINED INFORMATION FROM ALWAYS WITHOUT SIGNING AN AGREEMENT.
A DRIVER HAS BEEN WRITTEN, AND IS BEING TESTED. AN ALPHA VERSION SHOULD BE
AVAILABLE SOON. There is no need to flame Always, and there is no need to
discuss this topic again.
Do not ask me to define "soon". I expect that the author will announce
the alpha-test when he feels that it is ready.
