Pirated VersaTerm Hits the Net

I just saw a posting in "net.sources.mac" that is a blatant, illegal,
pirated version of my Copyrighted Version 1.00 of VersaTerm.  The poster was:

--> From: newton@reed.UUCP (Physics Super User)
--> Newsgroups: net.sources.mac
--> Subject: Another Terminal Emulator
--> Message-ID: <1574@reed.UUCP>
--> Date: 29 May 85 06:29:10 GMT
--> Date-Received: 29 May 85 15:02:26 GMT
--> Organization: Reed College, Portland, Oregon

The fraud claiming to have written the program is:

--> R. E. Crandall
--> 5445 SE 41
--> Portland, OR   97202

By editing the "About VersaTerm..." dialog (using FEdit and ResEdit I suppose)
this person replaced my Copyright notice, my picture and my name with 
his name, Company (logo?) and a plea for $75 to be sent to his address.
Everything else is MY VERSATERM!!

Our (Peripherals C&S) lawyers have been informed and legal action will no 
doubt be brought against both Mr. Crandall and Reed College.

If this fraud has posted this illegal program to other networks (CompuServe...)
I would appreciate you honest netter's out there to pass this note on.

I still can't believe it!!!
