Hey, I'm on the net.  Isn't everyone?

Ah, so that's who it was that called me on the phone, one sunny Saturday
afternoon.  Yes, I did give verbal permission for the use of my code in
their product, under the standard set of conditions:  If you sell a product
using my code, I want a copy of it for free.  I figure this is a fair
deal.

I suppose (I hope) that I'll be received my copy in the mail sometime soon.  I
might just change my opinion of this quiche-eating language Modula-II.  I hope
these people live up to their reputation.  I'd be a shame to have another EA
in the Amiga software market.
