Hsoi 13 December 2003 - It appears that Andy is alive and well, but Rapscallion is not. Like so many things in life well... life got in the way of Rapscallion's development. Since he's no longer able to develop it, he has opted to make Rapscallion free by posting a serial number to his web site along with the 2.0.2 installer. He also has a half-Carbonized version posted on his site, and at least as of this writing has also promised to post the source code for Rap to his site so that perhaps someone out there could pick up and continue development (source isn't posted yet, I don't know when it will be, just keep checking the Rapscallion web site).
