Yes.  U.S. computer-oriented companies usually do their best to
contribute to the U.S. trade deficit, by refusing to export their
products.  Examples:  Kinetics, Global Engineering Documents,
Specialized Systems Consultants, Dayna Communications, and Journal
of Object Oriented Programming.  Most of them only ignored purchase
orders or letters, but JOOP kept a bank draft.  Japanese traders
say that U.S. suppliers are unreliable, and in this case they are
telling the truth.
