At the place where I used to work I convinced management to cut a check
to buy this program because we were having constant problems with Mac
software eating disk files during things like save operations.  A systems
rash friend of mine showed me Fedit and I thought this might have been a
good way to try and save some of these munched files.

Because of the reasonable 'price' and my wanting to encourage this kind
of software, I decided to mail a check to Mr. Mitchell, expecting a copy
of the program and some updated documentation.

It's been about 6 months or so and nothing.  Anybody out there know
where this fellow lives?
