Andreas Kleinert removes PPC/WOS datatypes from the Aminet (Update)
Andreas Kleinert has, like can be seen from the last extract of the recent file, removed his PPC/WOS datatypes from the Aminet by placing empty archives there.

The appended readme says the following:
PPC/WOS support for this datatypes has been dropped as with V45.1.

Update 26.09.2002:
We asked Andreas Kleinert via e-mail the following question: Might you give amiga-news.de a brief statement about the deletion of the PPC/WOS datatypes at the Aminet?

Andreas Kleinert:
"I just wanted to "clean up" a little bit ;-)

The support for WOS was even stopped earlier, WOS user had to use the ppclib-emu already.

The PPC support was abandoned with V45.1, regarding to the 68k only versions 45.x it would be irritating if the 44.x PPC modules were still left at he Aminet.

Those who would like to use the 44.x 68k datatypes with the 44.x PPC plugins should use the last recent public version from an Aminet CD. The (now) free keyfile is still available from the Aminet."

Within a comment someone wrote: If you don't like to continue to support the PPC versions of your datatypes it is your choice, but if you take the possibility for registered users to download the latest version of theses datatypes this is a shame in my view.

Andreas Kleinert:
This hasn't been my intention, I just wanted to avaoid trouble if people try to use the 44.x PPC plugins in addition to version 45.x . The PPC modules are still to get from the Aminet CDs. But one thing I have to state here: My personal opinion is that the Aminet should not have to be seen as a backup medium for everybody.
