I was given a copy of the latest release of Transformer by "my local Amiga
dealer" after I strongly made it aware to him that I didn't want it if it
wasn't PD/Shareware/otherwise freely distributable.  The dealer promised
that it was, and also noted that it was included free with the external
5.25" disk drive, so is of "no real value."  On that basis, I tried it on
my 2000.

Other than needing the "keyboard fix," it ran fine.

Will someone here from Commodore please confirm or deny IN AN OFFICIAL WAY
that the program is freely distributable?  None of this disclaimer stuff here,
WE NEED A REAL ANSWER!  There seems to be a real concern over the distribution
and many of us who refuse to be pirates are really questioning this issue.

Personally, the lack of any graphics emulation and dismal speed render t
software useless.  I've only used it to verify that it works.  I have not
distributed it.
