Thank you for giving us more information, sorry did not know that it was
not PD. Please I would like your help on another matter, I have been
having Problems in getting in touch with ST-Computer, I don't think the
First Address that I had was correct, I was after the info, on the
Article on 'Patch as Patch Can', Six Patches for the Bugs in TOS 1.4,
do you know what issue this was in. ??, the Address than I know have is
ST-Computer, Heim Verlag, Heidelberger Lanstr. 194, D-61 Darmstadt,
Gemany, Is this correct..?? Thank you...
