Is it important? It was a cool program 30 years ago but it’s just a playback UI right?

It’s not the old program anymore, and it already leaked a long time ago. It was obvious that the new one wouldn’t be open.

I have the old one (5.x) installed and use it regularly. Is it still available for download anywhere? Would love for that one to be officially open sourced.

Oh, now that is interesting. Thank you for that piece of information!

It’s at best abandonware, but the source will never be released officially as it now belongs to a random megacorp.
