     Hard to buy. They squawk quickly enough about everything else.

     Already did that at Roy's suggestion.

     If by "working" you mean sending harassment emails to ISPs, those types
seldom post here about their attempts to kill user access to out of print
8-20 year-old software.

     In any case, all of this "work" you're talking about seems to have
somehow not included simply contacting the S&S site admin and asking about
the presence of GraphicWriter III.

     As mentioned in an earlier posting (nearly a day ago), GW III was
offered by accident and was removed. The site has established a clear policy
against trading current commercial software. S&S appears to be operating
within the law.

     So, the vogons are off the hook (for now) and can go back to picking on
the average user looking for a copy of Wavy Navy or Swashbuckler.
