Some people have complained about the high cost of converting overseas
shareware cheques. I was shocked when i read Jeff Shulman saying that
converting a foreign cheque to US dollars costs $20 US. Here in australia,
converting a US cheque to AUS dollars is only $3 Australian flat rate for
as many cheques as you like.

Most people who send me shareware cheques from overseas send me in their
currency. About 10-20% send me postal orders. I even got a letter from
Germany asking why I didnt offer Master/Visa/AE card services ! And another
from Finland becoz he was immigrating to Australia and wanted to know Mac
prices in Australia !
	
If anyone has the latest McSink DA could they please post it to me or to
comp.mac.binaries. Its really useful, but version 4.8, the latest version
available here doesnt work with MF, and nowadays I use MF 100% of the 
time due to the tyranny of LSC 3.0.
