Is that right?  Do Pianomation players not have a sustain pedal 
control and attempt to fudge it with key up information?  

This isn't really going to fool anyone -- the sustain pedal has a 
completely different effect.  For example, more dramatic chords can 
be played with pedal down *before* the key strikes (as opposed to 
the more common pedal after key), which allows other strings on the 
piano to sound with the harmonies.  This is another of the reasons 
why even the most perfect sampled pianos (on a computer, or a 
GranTouch and the like) don't sound even remotely like a real 
piano.  I didn't realise that Pianomation couldn't do this either...
