It may be a bit excessive, but it was the easiest way of ensuring that
anything "suspect" was no longer on offer. As I mentioned, I plan on
putting my website back up, sans all the TML/Complete Pascal stuff. I
may even translate some of my demo programs that were originally
written under Complete Pascal into Orca/Pascal - which is a pretty
trivial task, but I just need to find the time.

I'm no lawyer, so I have chosen to "play it safe" for now.

Thanks for your support, I may take you up on your offer.

It is just a shame that if this is the real Vince M. Cooper that he
chose to threaten legal action before requesting any TML/Complete
Pascal links be removed. For someone who has not been heard from in
the Apple II community for nearly 20 years, I think it was a bit over
the top. I also remember trying to find contact details for Vince way
back before placing anything on my website, but I turned up nothing.

Anyway, please be patient and I'll try and get the site back up
without any TML/Complete Pascal links...

Cheers,
Mike
