Umilator was the official name of 'Berniethlon'. When Bernd 'Bernie' Meyer
ended his contract with Haage & Partner he continued to replace bits of
code the proposed Amithlon v2 upgrade that had been
written by Harold Frank or Haage & Partner. This would allow him to sell
the emulator as an independent product and resolve the legality issues that
had plagued the Haage & Partner version. However, he continued to be harassed
by his former employers who attempted to prevent other developers (such as the
people behind Picasso96) licensing their code to him. After some attempt for
mediation by an unknown third party, talks broke down in fall/autumn 2002. Bernie
set December 1st, 2002 as a date when the situation must be resolved, otherwise
he indicated he would abandon development. Although Amiga Inc. provided support
for a short while (announcing a range of x86-based machines), they did nothing
to support the Umilator project and a public notice was given that Umilator
was effectively dead.
