But it is what you have done. What little I know about your work, for the Mail
Group, concerned fixing Y2K bugs. That's maintenance. Most of what I have seen on
your website in the past were utilities for AppleWorks. It seems to me that that is
also a form of maintenance, in that while it might be original, it was geared
toward enhancing and maintaining AppleWorks.

I'm grieved by the injury that you have received by pirates. And yours is just one
more case that people like Paul and Matthew say isn't happening. There are so few
who do ANY programming for the Apple II, the community can't afford to drive off
even one programmer. Which is why, those who really want to support the platform,
MUST do what they can to stop the piracy.

"Do" - no, I don't know what you do. "Did" - I know some of it. And some
programmers do like to know that they are appreciated. Sorry if my appreciation
offends you. I'll try to stop it (the appreciation that is.)
