- Dear Sandra,
-
- Please find on this disk an AMOS program called PALET. It is all
- ready to click and run. I know that Palette Programs are
- two-a-penny, but I am quite pleased with the particular combination
- of features in this one, and it is designed to be easy to include in
- other programs.
-
- I am sending it in the vain hope that you may like it, and may even
- be able to find a suitable niche for it in a future APD disk. I
- have seen no APD disks, and don't know how many or what kind of
- Palette Programs are there already. If this one has nothing extra to
- add, or if you don't think it is of the required standards in
- performance or robustness, then just throw it away. I have found it
- quite useful since I wrote it, and other AMOS users may do the same.
- (If I get a disk in exchange - if only for the effort - how about
- starting from the top: APD1, please.)
-
-
- Since Australia is nearer to NZ than to UK, I suppose I should have
- sent this to Pactronics Pty Ltd., but have been unable to find their
- address.
-
-
- An unrelated matter, and a suggestion:
-
- Your General Info. (p.43 of AMOS Extras Manual) states that payments
- from abroad must be made in GBP by International Money Order or
- Postal Giro. No other currencies. No credit card payments.
-
- Now "Postal Giro" is a quite meaningless expression to anyone not
- living in the UK.
-
- International Money Orders involve significant charges. I rashly
- used one a couple of years ago. It cost me $8.75 to send $10 dollars.
-
- I now make all my overseas purchases with a Visa card. It is a
- straightforward condition - if they don't accept Visa, I take my
- business elsewhere. It is very unusual to find anyone not willing to
- accept payment by that method, and in fact yours is the only such
- business I know of at the moment.
-
- Any chance of your changing the rules a bit?
-
- Best wishes,
-
- John Collett
