As far as I know TGC intended on selling the full range of Aliencodec products from the end of January 2006 and were to reopen the forums.
The forums are taking a lot of new registrations - 194 of them so far this year. The bulk of them are May and June 2006. However, nobody is posting on the forums.
I'm not sure how intentional this was by TGC - they bought the full-range of products and then probably realised that they could not do much with BlitzTree and BlitzGrass as they were heavily coded in Blitz and probably not easy (or not possible) to port to Dark Basic.
However, if they have no use (or future use) for the products then I think they should make them freeware.
Personally, I would be happy for Aliencodec to come back from the dead and sell them again. I would also not be bothered if Idigicon started selling them.
Whatever the outcome, I'd like to see the products available to the Blitz Community.
If my current negotiations with TGC result in another wild-goose chase, then I will ask Idigicon if they are interested in obtaining them and selling them.
