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.
