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.
