     It seems I implied something that isn't true.

     I bought the diskette set from Alex Leavens, who was also working
out of the Data Pacific Booth.  He is not working for Data Pacific, and
I did NOT buy the diskettes from Data Pacific.

     As I have mentioned before, Apple will not license Data Pacific to
distribute the System and Finder images with Magic Sac, so I had to go
to a licensed developer to obtain them.

     What I received was four diskettes.  The first contains the system
and finder images.  The second contains FreeTerm and Red Ryder.  The
third and fourth are Boston Macintosh User's Group diskettes in Magic
format, although I don't have the distribution numbers handy.

     I did not see this as an attempt to cheat any of the authors
involved, and the only reason I can't give you a better answer about
what the forty bucks was for is that I didn't ask at the show.

     I know that I would be pleased to see my shareware distributed by
Data Pacific if I were doing Apple Software.  I find putting shareware
on these disks to be equivalent to making it available through buletin
boards.
