I have a friend whose name is Barry Nelson (no relation) and he writes
many nice programs for the coco's os9.  He makes many of them PD or
doesn't release them but they appear in some commercial programs.  One
program he made was D.  It is a simple 40 byte program that was made
PD and publishable, YET (AND THIS MAKES ME ANGRY!) in December 1988,
Rainbow, Pg 81... IT IS ADVERTISED AS ONE OF THE GOLBERG UTILITIES
WITH NO MENTION OF WHO WROTE IT!  
Another instance is Microcom's OS9 Level II BBS program.  They use
programs called Uloadx and Dloadx.  These were also written by Barry
("Doc").  NO Mention was made of his authoring nor did they notify
him.  Many of these programs compare exactly byte for byte to the
programs he has made.  These are just a few.  I know a few people who
have published books for the coco and os9 know he has done some
programs that they use.

he didn't ask me to post this, I posted this.  I just want people to
recognize his work.  He gets depressed when he sees that some &**^%(@
has just published his software with his own name.  His programs are
locked up now a lot, lot tighter now.

Just seeing that recognition is deserved.  Thank you.
