Hello everybody! I need some help from english speaking people either in USA, England or Australia. As I like Digital Aesthetics, from Greg Grove, I decided to register and to order more modules. As the adress was G. G. PO Box 4361 Sun River OR 97707-1361 (no country mentionned) I decided to send order and payment to the USA. Got no answer, twice (I said I liked the software ;-)). Only the third time, when I sent it "receipt requested" the USA post administration admitted they did not know anybody with tis adress!!! As I sent mony in the letters the first two times, and as I did not get them back, I hope these shareware fees made someone happy in the US post administration. Where has gone the money sent by postal order the third time, I don't know. No matter anyway! I really like this shareware (I think everybody got it now <;^) ) but I think that 4 times the shareware fee will be enough. So I hope somebody knows Greg Grove, and can tell me his adress. Or could somebody tell me if such an adress is in USA, in GB, in Australia or God knows where in the world. Thank you for your help. Marc-Alain

Panchard, The address is in Sun River Origon, USA. I do not know if the PO Box 4361 is correct or not. Or what happend to your money. Try writting to the "Post Master General" about your money. Write to: Post Master General Washington D.C. USA Who knows, you may just get lucky. It's worth a try. Stephen…AutoPilot 1.80! E-Mail "savner@clubmet.metrobbs.com"

Panchard, < As the adress was G. G. PO Box 4361 Sun River OR 97707-1361 (no country mentionned) Or could somebody tell me if such an adress is in USA, in GB, in Australia or God knows where in the world.> I'm glad you like Greg Grove's software and I wish I could help you find him, but the most I can do is tell you that address was in the US, in the state of Oregon. I hope that someone else knows where Greg is or even if the program is still supported! I must say that paying the shareware fee three times is at least two times more than I would have tried! You're nothing if not persistant! <grin> P.S. We have a full name policy in these forums. Please go to any forum prompt and type OPTIONS. From there it should be self-expanitory as to how to proceed. Be sure to make the changes permenant before leaving that area. If you have problems Betty Clay would be happy to help you out. Thanks! Asha @}–`–,-

An Oregon address in the USA. Because it was PO Box (Post Office Box) it could belong to someone else. POB's are rented out in weekly, monthly, and yearly segments. -Jonathan MAC Quadra/486PC compatible courtesy Amiga, Emplant and BB. Emplant beta tester. Running AP v1.80.

If an address (or the user of a post office box) changes, the new resident is supposed to mark any mis-addressed mail as undeliverable and return it to the post office. Sadly, many recipients just throw such material in the garbage. Your money may not have been taken .. it might well have just been thrown away! The suggestion of writing the US Postmaster General is a good one. This will trigger an enquiry from the postal authorities, and *possibly* you might find out what happened. That's one of the problems with small software houses, and shareware. The material often comes from people who move a lot (students?) and it can become difficult to track them down. This is especially vexing when you have "crippled" shareware, in which case you would have sent money and still have only a package of limited usefulness. (No suggestion that this is true of the Greg Grove package). –Jim
