So, WHERE IS the LAST post-Opera-9-support version of HTMLarea ?

Hey now, you guys wrote this on your "deprecation" page about HTML Area, the following:

"With regrets, we have to inform you that we no longer actively maintain HTMLArea* ... (*) We do plan to release one last version with support for Opera, as we promised to Opera folks, and we hope to be able to do this when Opera 9 will be released."

Now, Opera 9 has been out for SOME TIME now - and even though you have supposedly discontinued HTMLarea, I am SURE that the above quoted comment from you, was posted WELL BEFORE Opera 9 was released. And in fact, Opera 9's # of downloads surged past the prediction mark and OperaSoftware.com's CEO had to swim the english Channel. And that was also quite some time ago, too! And now here we are, about to witness the soon release of Opera 10 .... and thus- far NO NEW or LAST version of HTMLarea at all? I don't even remember what the previous version of it even was? Was it 3.0? Does anyone even still have any copies I can get from them? I obviously cannot get it from here .... So what to do?

So anyways, it has obviously been some time now. Opera 9 has come and gone, Opera 10 is looming on the horizon ... and Dynarch has not kept to it's promises on this and some other things as well. :-(

So, how about releasing the LAST "Final" version of HTMLarea under an "as-is" warranty where you do not need to offer or be held liable for any support? That way, those of us who are still interested in it, can at least still download it and play around with it and not bother anyone at Dynarch about it. What do you say?

Please? :-)

Hey, if all you want is free software, you're gonna have to wait for it.  Clearly, you enjoy criticizing others—and I'm pretty sure that's all you can do—but it won't be allowed on our forums any longer.  If there's anything else you want to share with us, please watch your mouth. ;-)

hmmmm wow

I am quite shocked ... well, I can definitely and readily admit in honesty to being fairly critical, but i am sorry that I cannot admit to being rude where I may need to "watch my mouth". I do not believe I was rude to anyone, much less anyone who runs this website or the Dynarch company itself. I was just asking a simple question and quite possibly the LEVEL OF IRONY within the question may have been too well stated, but I did employ the irony to put forth a very plain point. Honestly I really don't care, and I am not the kind of person to "squabble" about such silly things on web forums so you really have nothing to worry about from me. However, when I made my initial posts on this forum (all 3 or 4 of them) ... at no time did I ever suspect or think that I would get such INCREDIBLY RUDE replies from you ...

While I believe that I was only asking simple questions and while I believe that I was in NO WAY being derogatory or disrespectful towards Dynarch or to any person in particular, I have no problems at all "watching my mouth". Upon reading YOUR replies, however, you can feel safe and assured that you have nothing further to worry about from me. Suddenly, beyond the already-obvious fact of INCREDIBLY HIGH QUALITY SOFTWARE (or why else would I have been compelled to come here in the first place?) .... I no longer feel that same positive compulsion to continue writing here, and much less, to, or with you...

(quite shocked)
