Wright (wrightc@dtcweb.com) ********************************************************************** Regarding Ceres SoundStudio... though we have no knowledge as to the company's status, in viewing the German website, we have noticed that the site is dated 1996. In searching HitSquad, a version (2.0) of SoundStudio for OS/2 was found, dated April of 1998. The URL is as follows: http://www.hitsquad.com/smm/programs/Ceres_SoundStudio_os2/ It seems there has been a release for OS/2 almost two years after the German site in question was last updated. Thus, their commitment to OS/2 probably isnt in question, though their continued existence perhaps may be. Ceres' US site has actually been down for quite some time, and may be no indication of their demise or commitment/lack thereof for OS/2. In checking other sites under HitSquad.com, we've found home pages listed when known - while there is none listed for Ceres. Though this is guessing, perhaps that is because though they are still working on SoundStudio, their site no longer exists. This would coincide with the recent release, and lack of a site for a number of months. Though this post still leaves a lot of questions, it does at least answer the question of their commitment to OS/2. As for SS/2 itself, it is an excellent app that performs relatively well in our experience (other than a quirk in the "fade out" function which "fades in" instead). We have used it to edit single track 72 minute mixes without error or incident.
