Mr Paul Brown,

In response to your posting of the 28th of July 1996.

I would like to state that posting information gleaned from a third party
source is very dangerous, especially when the posting is supported by a
statement that the included information is 100% fact.

For the record as of the 29th July 1996.

1) 	VIScorp does not owe Optonica Ltd 1 penny.

2) 	No receivers, liquidators or administrators have been appointed for
Optonica Ltd so anyone trying to contact them, as suggested in your
posting will have great difficulty.

I suggest that you withdraw your message or post a retraction at the
earliest possible moment to minimise the damage you may have caused and do
not put yourself in this position again with future postings.

Obviously, we cannot make any statement on behalf of VIScorp with regard
to any actions they may see fit to take with regard to this matter.


Yours Sincerely,
Lee Gibson, Optonica Ltd
