   Someone was just telling me about Ben Fuller and I dont know him. I did V1 and   
   V2 and refused to give them V3 since they did not pay the royalties promised..   
   So I think they released V2 with some of the stuff already done like the dual   
   disk file copier    
   etc.. I had faster stuff done and when their check bounced just put it out as   
   shareware and made like $90 on it from the $3 from 30 people.. So instead of   
   finishing up V3 I did wrap speed for cinemaware and then Vmax\s last update   
   for ATG. As was the    
   case everywhere, I stopped giving them updates when their checks started   
   bouncing.. Which meant immediately.. So they were left using the copies they   
   already had.   
      
   I would have liked to know if Ben ever got any money.. I talked with quite a   
   few people at prism who tried to get me to give them updates. All were lets   
   sell a few copies and we will pay you but not even a little money for all the   
   previously sold copies    
   and almost sent in the updates but waited 2 days just in case and got the $100   
   bank charges for bounced checks...  After that it was just pay fully and they   
   stopped calling.
