Since BASIC and Logo comes packed in _every_ ST we have sold for the last 2
months, and we are also packing 1st Word and Neochrome currently, there is
something fishy about the copy charges.  Legally, a dealer _cannot_ copy
BASIC, Logo, or 1st Word.  We have granted permission to copy Neochrome and
ST Writer for free.  $5 apiece is a tad steep for copying 2 disks.
