Archie was in charge of the planned and failed Ecco open source
release by NetManage. Did you see Archie Robostoff's
self-described LinkedIn Background Summary: "Specialties:Product
Management, General Asskickery".

Yes, Slang's incredible work
gave new life to me and many others. I am extremely
thankful for his idea to incorporate his work and attach
it to a new Installer, notwithstanding the days when the
Yahoo groups split and useless accusations were thrown
from left to right. It was earlier, I remember the May of
2005, when the release of Service Pack 2 of Win XP made
the original 16-bit Ecco Installer for the first time
useless. On request of some Yahoo group members, I created
a manual EccoPro installation called "EccoFilesSystem.zip"
which was freely distributed to many other online blocks
and is still available today at the EccoMagic
Forums ;-)

Ah yes, Friedhelm. I had forgotten some of those
things. Yes, I do recall now that Ecco probably got
dumped as part of a deal between MS and NM that
involved scuttling it. Yes, that was the scuttlebutt
at the time.
I used to be fairly active in the old NM forum. I
remember a few attempts at different times and by
different people to buy, acquire, or otherwise pry
Ecco out of NM's hands as far back as the 90s. Some
of them raised money, some of them took a very long
time, but all of them went nowhere. And then later
the failed open source release. Those were
frustrating years.
To tell you the truth, it was Slang who revived my
interest in Ecco. Just before he came along, I was
feeling that I had nearly had it. The prospect of
more years with no new development was just getting
too depressing after all that time. If Slang hadn't
arrived on the scene just then, I probably wouldn't be
here today. I am so thankful that I stayed around to
see his magic show. It's one of the most impressive
things I have ever seen in any aspect of my life.
