You had much better luck with "Mr" Bredon than I did. I had been told that
Big Mac assembler was shareware and sent a private note to him on Compuserve
asking about buying a copy and  what the price was. I was honestly and clearly
trying to buy the thing. He posted a public reply about how sick he was of 
thieves like me trying to rob him all of the time. He included my name but
not my original posting, which was very clearly a request for purchasing
info. I blew it off to his immaturity and erased the note. However, Shawn
Goodin, (the sysop) never one to miss a chance at stroking Bredon "revived"
Bredon's reply stating that it was something that everyone should see.
My original request was not posted. The happy ending was that I then 
bought ORCA/M instead and love it, plus, I no longer have a monthly
compuserve bill to pay. Has anyone else had similar experiences with
Compuserves Apple // forum?
