	Anybody who lives in Germany,

	Please spread the word that the following PD distributor:

	Stephen Ossowski
	Veronikastr. 33, 4300 Essen 1
	West Germany

	Is selling various PD, Shareware, and Freeware copyrighten programs
    for outrageous prices.  Specifically, he is selling my DME editor for
    DM 30,- , which is aproximately US $57.  So far I've been written twice
    from friends in West Germany and have in my possession a page from a
    big German magazine called 'Amiga' (?) with the add for DME.

	From what I can tell, he is selling a 3000 word english<->german 
    dictionary and a translated manual and attempting to beat the legality
    of the situation by bundling the stuff together.

	DME Has explicit copyright and distribution notices.  It is NOT PD
    (Remember that anything you mark as 'PD' is exactly that, Public Domain.
    Anybody can do anything they want with it).  The distribution notice
    specifies only non-profit fees be allowed.
