Era of Mac OS9 support will be coming to an end...

Vamp has officially announced that it will cease supporting Mac OS9.

"Apple with its latest OSX versions has made it abundantly clear that it has shelved OS9 and wants it to die. Trying to make products auto-bootable in both OS9 and OSX has become very difficult for us to continue to support. Furthermore some of the new capabilities in upcoming releases can not be made available in OS9..."

Users still running OS9 are encouraged to move to OSX now to avoid losing any investment in their archived designs.
