Hi Vladimir,
I'm not quite sure what you mean by this. Do you mean that...
(a) Kaissa 1.8 will become commericial and be sold online,
(b) it will be available to certain well-known testers (e.g., WBEC)
Thanks,
Michael

Hello, Vladimir!
What is correct name? Kaissa-2 or Kaissa?
I have asked Alexander Bitman and Vladimir Arlazarov, authors of legendary "Kaissa" of 70s. They told me nothing about transmitting rights for this name to you.
Regards,
Vladimir.

What about 'Caissa' in case of copyright problems?
(I think this is the original writing of the godness)

First, I don't think any serious [K,C]opyright problems really arise here. But in early 90-ths Russian software company "Disco" has PC version of Kaissa (genetic successor to mainframe version, but re-written in TurboC).
AFAIK, Vladimir Yelin declared some continuity in original Kaissa ideas (described in some books by Arlazarov, Bitman et al.), and he wants to emphasize this continuity by naming his engine Kaissa-2.
The question is, what is correct name - Kaissa-2 or Kaissa ?
BTW, there exist some plans to run original (mainframe!) Kaissa on emulator of M-20 or ICL machine. Source code (in binary processor commands) is still available, and some work is going in this direction... Guess what will be the name of such a program? )
