That's not too bad a price. Be sure to post when you are about to start shipping. Don't forget to post the address for Black Belt Systems! Is Black Belt Systems going to be able to take Visa at that time? The demise of SoftCircuits would also release you of any contractual aggreement between you and a certain company in Kansas, wouldn't it? (Lets make that spot on the map a nuclear hot spot!!) Noted you saying that PCLO, PCLO+, and Scheme will be available as Shareware. When people register will they get the printed manuals (which you seem to be stuck with)? Is Black Belt still going to be coming out with improved versions of these products to be available commercially (Didn't you mention Scheme+ to be available this winter)? And here I am without enough ram and no plotter!

Kelly, no matter WHAT the contract says, I made a commitment and I intend to honor it to the letter. That's what makes me better than them. I don't have to mess with hard drive software – I can write lots of other things too. We will see about the Visa; certainly the attitude in Montana seems to be MUCH better than that of Florida's banks. Perhaps. I'm not certain yet as to the disposition of the binders and the manuals. We will see. As for improvements, well, bug fixes certainly – I use the stuff, you know <grin> – but I don't know about further expansion. Again, I'll just have to play it by ear. Black Belt Systems is going to be doing much more mainstream stuff; and we're going to be doing hardware, at least to some extent. I doubt that I will write very many more pieces of stand-alone software, for various reasons. Time will tell. I would _like_ to make the Amiga a big hit with the HAM community; at least I enjoy doing that kind of work, and there are plenty of hams out there as a base market – and they go in droves, like lemmings. One buys an Amiga, more will too – especially if he starts sending all kinds of neat stuff THEY can't do. Remember – every Intel Microprocessor without a home is a step forward in man's maturation.
