After  sending  out  a "notice of puzzlement"  about  the Ashton Tate
Developers  application  package  I received over a week ago, I found
a couple  of messages  in my e-mail  in-basket  from other recipients
indicating  my situation  was not  universal.  Then I saw the article
from  Peggy Lerch  (to which I am posting this as follow-up).   I did
in fact  receive  the Macintosh diskette  with the application  forms
on  it  in  the  mail last Friday.   I've  reviewed the response from
Ashton Tate contained in Peggy's article.   I think their response is
more than adequate  --  I'd  even venture to say spectacular.   For a
company  to  monitor  UseNet  News  and  respond to its content is an
indication,  in my view,  that they have a very high regard for their
customer  community,  not  to mention  a heads up attitude toward the
capabilities  of computer technology  that is  far above average.  In
my mind, this is what UseNet should be capable of doing.  I'm pleased
to see that it can be done.

Thanks to Peggy Lerch, Barbara Katzoff, and to Ashton Tate in general
for a job well done.  My application will be in the mail shortly.
