Good "guess" - although, I think that was covered in the announcement,
so maybe you were "assisted".

This only makes sense - as the windows version will be a very 
different program.  I doubt many current TR users will really
like the windows version - at least at first.

However, there should be a good chunk of people looking for a
windows version whom haven't bought TR previously.  CCS needs to
charge for this to pay for their development.  I am going to 
continue supporting the DOS version.

Won't happen.  Either you like the windows version enough to use it,
or you keep using the DOS version - different programs - different
authors - different markets.

Always nice to hear.
