Ric, Well I thought I would prod your memory Ric. BTW I have some disturbing news to pass on to your company and the others on AVend etc. There is a software pirating business operating here in Auckland under the name of Amigasoft. I was offered a copy of a catalogue which was several pages long, listing games and productivity software including both Pen Pal and Final Copy II plus most other of the well known Amiga programmes. They are charging (I think) a dollar per disk and then people are foraging around for the manuals to copy. The disturbing part is that they are getting the copies via modem from Europe !!!!! This therefore may be part of a major pirating effort Have you got any suggestions, legal that is. I am pretty sure that the is an organisation here in NZ representing the software industry here that may be able to do something. Laurie Carroll AKL NZ Longdistance Autopilot

Laurie, Thanks for letting me know about the piracy. I'll pass the news along and find out what needs to be done on your part, if anything. Ric Fischer – SoftWood Tech Support Phoenix, Arizona, USA – (602) 431-9151

Ric, Give me a "yell" if I can do anything. It was the "modem" link to Europe that made me sit up and take notice. Laurie Carroll AKL NZ Longdistance Autopilot
