First of all I want to thank you for the many good programs you brought to the Amiga community. THANKS! Now to your suggestion. You suggest $10 for one program, this is OK. But here in Germany I must pay 10-20DM (=> $5-$10) for transfer to the USA :-( So every program would cost me twice as much as normal (after all I'm only a poor student). Second point: You want to distribute the updates only over your private BBS. I own a modem, but the telephone costs (2400Baud Germany-->USA) would kill me. So what about 1 or 2 Disk's full of your programs on Fred Fish's PD-Library withone special shareware fee? So long..
