Greeting-
     It is worse than you might think.  It caused me to get out of the
business in 1984.  I was getting calls from all over the country about
how great my morse code tutor and mores code teacher programs were.
Problem was I knew where every copy I sold went to because I sold
direct via an add in Rainbow(is it still alive?), and all the calls I
got were from folks that never bought my stuff.  I put in lots of work
on the stuff that I used to sell and decided that I would cut off the
CoCo market after that.  Now I write one off stuff under Unix for
folks that both pay and do not spread my work around for free.  This
allows me to feed my family.  Think about it folks!
