--> I'm sorry to hear that. I wonder, though - if the `original'
    program (the one you mention as being pirated) author could
    be contacted - would there be the possibility of having it
    reclassified as shareware/freeware? If so, then perhaps
    something could be developed, using the newly reclassified
    software as the basis/launching point for whatever `new'
    development you mentioned? I'd think you weren't refering to
    the AppleWorks program itself; when you mentioned the
    pirated software - but rather to some sort of add-on as per
    your speciality? Not meaning to pry, nor interested - just
    wondering about the reclassification aspect. The Treasure
    Chest site/philosophy and ongoing reclassification attempts
    is a great idea. Like I said, I don't know the details;
    it's just an idea to `clear-up' the piracy problem you
    alluded to. You do great work, Beverly (I have a disk of
    yours somewhere in my 'puter room, that I purchased from
    Kingwood{?} many, many, moons ago) and I'd hate to see the
    A2 community (what's left of it) lose out on something
    new from your creative skills; if there was some way to
    `rescue' it.
