the last version of the software is from 2004, I don't know if the

Might that help? I've heard it, it sounds great. Kindest regards Julien
Hi, Julien. Did you succeed in contacting this guy and he refused? Or
couldn't you
make contact? When was that?
I love the sounds on his samples! You can have my name on that petition!

The purpose of this rather restrictive license is simple: I do not want multiple
versions splitting off with my name in them when the program is still under
development. If you feel that you would like to make a serious contribution to the
project, please contact me.
