Well, perhaps I am jumping the gun and making assumptions. But
since "Merchant Prince" has actually been picked up by Talon Soft (if
I'm not mistaken,) and their latest project: Noble Armada became vapor-
ware (which I'm bitterly disappointed by because I LOVED the demo!),
and they have no tech support dept (that they are advertising anyway,)
I guess I just assumed their software dept. was defunct.

Don't get me wrong, when I wrote them I was indede very polite and
nice, I used to work tech support. I appreciated nice requests. =) And
I got a kind and quick response. I just seriously doubt they're in any
position to start releasing any new patches for a game that
unfortunately did VERY poorly in sales (which is also a shame, because
I loved this game. But I have to be realistic.)

But you're right, you never know until you actually try. =) And one
shouldn't complain about something they haven't done yet!
