I will soon want to get about 4 WIMP message numbers allocated from Acorn (for DSEdit II), and I was just wondering what the best way to go about this would be... The last time I requested anything from Acorn, it took 3 months before I even got a letter back, and all that said was "We are considering..." - it was another couple of weeks before I got the proper reply! Bearing this in mind, I don't want to wait for 3 months before I get some message numbers that I can use, so I was wondering if I can short-circuit some of the delays (2 weeks just for snailmail to start with) by emailing my request direct to somebody in a position of power... [BTW, I am not, despite how it looks, criticising Acorn for this: it's just that the more bureaucratic red-tape I can avoid, the better my chances of getting an allocation within a useful time frame] Thanks in advance. -- _________________ "I'd like to answer this question in two ways: /____ _ _/_ __ First in my normal voice, and then // / //_//_ /_/ in a silly, high-pitched whine."
