Kit then asks "if Bob Puff sends a portion of the money he receives for BobTerm to him (the SX212-handler author)." I've exchanged e-mail on this subject with Bob Puff on his BBS (Computer World Jr., at (716) 247-8355) and Bob says that NO, he does NOT forward any money to the author of the SX212 handler, who "has his own shareware agree- ments" -- apparently a reference to the message Kit mentions. That's the scoop, Kit and everyone else; if you see that other guy's name, and address, and want him to receive shareware money, SEND IT DIRECTLY TO HIM, not to Bob Puff. Separate products, separate authors, separate con- tributions. Chris Chiesa Chris_F_Chiesa@cup.portal.com
