In previous versions of Terminate, the following reward was posted:

"Intershop Ltd will pay a cash reward of one hundred pounds sterling (°100)
to the first person furnishing us with an address in the United Kingdom
where writs may effectively be legally served on Mr Bo Bendtsen, original
author of Terminate, believed now resident in South East London and
previously resident at Kastanie Alle 14, 2620 Albertslund, DENMARK

[ Intershop Ltd believes that it is in everyones (except Bo Bendtsens)
best interests that the copyright ownership of Terminate (and other
matters) be established beyond reasonable doubt in a court of law.
Unfortunately, in most english speaking jurisdictions, neither civil nor
criminal actions can proceed in the defendants' absence. Both the Registered
Office and trading addresses of Intershop Ltd are matters of public record
at Companies House in Edinburgh. By contrast, Bo Bendtsen has behaved as a
fugitive from justice and refused to divulge an address for service as
he is legally obliged to do under The Business Names Act 1985. ]"

We are pleased to say that we believe we have now received accurate
information from two previous Terminate REGsites as to the fugitive Bo
Bendtsens current domicile in south east London. Unfortunately, during
the period that we kept observation (from 20th to 30th of March 1995)
he was not seen to either enter or leave his domicile and did not answer
the doorbell when we rang it.

However, our General Manager, George Collins, has now made some progress in
serving his *own* writs for defamation and breach of contract. The letter
from GC reproduced below shows that we should not give up hope of being
able to effectively serve Bo Bendtsen and his alias organisations with civil
writs so as to avoid the alternative of having him arrested to face criminal
prosecutions rather than civil actions.

Therefore, a cheque for °100 has now been posted to Finland:

Dear Sirs

RE:  George Collins -v- Bo Bendtsen, SerWiz Com, Strathrory
     Systems Ltd and George Collins -v- Bo Bendtsen & Others:-
     95C Nos:954 - 960

Thank you for your four letters dated 11 May 1995 read by me
today.
(I have been away in London and Ireland attempting to serve the
Defendants in these cases and I confirm that service has now
been effective on SerWiz Com as a firm, Christen Hoegsberg as a
partner in the firm of SerWiz Com, and Steve Stacher and Gary
Smith. In this regard, I shall be away in the CIS for the next
few weeks readying the release of the final version of Terminate
and its' renamed replacement, currently code named "Project
CAIN".)

You say, in your first letter, that you "have been instructed to
act for the above who have been informed that you are
endeavouring to serve a Writ upon them claiming specific
performance of an agreement, an injunction and damages."

Before I send you the service copies of the High Court Writs can
you confirm that
a) you have accepted those instructions
b) you act for all of the defendants and will accept service on
behalf of all defendants
(ie Bo Bendtsen as a natural individual, Bo Bendtsen as a
partner in the firm of SerWiz Com, Christen Hoegsberg as a
partner in the firm of SerWiz Com, Pia Muller as a partner in
the firm of SerWiz Com, Dietmar Kneidl as a partner in the firm
of SerWiz Com, Mike Dickson as a partner in the firm of SerWiz
Com, and the corporation of Strathrory Systems Ltd)

I seek specific and explicit clarification because it might be
thought that there is an ethical conflict in your firm
representing
a) Christen Hoegsberg since your Mr Per Troen may be required as
a witness in the complaint before the Law Society that Christen
Hoegsberg held himself out as "Dan Law Solicitors" after leaving your
firm despite not being qualified to do so in England and Wales.
b) both Strathrory Systems Ltd and a [presumed] Director (Bo
Bendtsen) of that corporation since, if the case is proved, he
will have failed in his responsibilities towards the corporation
and the shareholders of that corporation.

I also seek to know under the provisions of the Business Names
Act 1985 and the various Companies Acts:
a) The names of all the proprietors or partners in the firm of
SerWiz Com and the address at which they may effectively be
served
b) Whether Strathrory Systems Ltd is incorporated with Limited
Liability, in which jurisdiction and where it's Registered
Office is situate since none of these required details have been
provided to the Registrar of Companies as both domestic and
foreign corporations trading within England are required to do
under penalty of law.

Because for many months Bo Bendtsen had behaved as a fugitive
and refused to answer his doorbell (even when police were
present) the company for which I work offered the following
reward:
"Intershop Ltd will pay a cash reward of one hundred pounds
sterling (°100) to the first person furnishing us with an
address in the United Kingdom where writs may effectively be
legally served on Mr Bo Bendtsen, original author of Terminate,
believed now resident in South East London and previously
resident at Kastanie Alle 14, 2620 Albertslund, DENMARK"

Will you also accept the Writs that Intershop Ltd wishes to
serve alleging breach of contract, copyright infringement and
fraud?

If so, can you formally confirm that you waive your rights to
the reward so that it can be paid to another informant?


Sincerely yours
Dr G Collins

PS:  In my case, I regard the "Esq" as a superfluous archaism
     and both impolite and incorrect."

Although Intershop Ltd's development of Terminate has so far cost a five
figure sum, Intershop Ltd has now declared ALL versions of Terminate to be
FREEWARE with no legal obligation on users to pay for their continuing use.
This is to make it quite clear that Intershop Ltd has not received NOR WILL
NOT RECEIVE one single penny from the Terminate program until legal action
to clarify the situation has commenced.

[ Equally, Intershop Ltd has no objection to people CHOOSING to register at
any of the Registration Sites listed within the 1.60 and 1.70 distribution
archives (now withdrawn from distribution) since it would otherwise be unfair
that those Registration Sites hard work in support of Terminate go unrewarded.
In this regard, we must make it quite clear that, despite the similarity in
names, Intershop Ltd and the EIRE-GB and Electronic REGsite, Interstop (note
the differing 7th letter) are entirely different, separate and distinct
organisations with no overlap in ownership or control.
Interstops' constitution was promulgated in 1988 while Intershop Ltd was
only incorporated at the wish of Bo Bendtsen in January 1994.]

Intershop Ltd hired an alternative programming team to develop Terminate
only when it became clear that the original author of the program,
Bo Bendtsen late of Albertslund, Denmark, did not intend to honour the
promises he had made to his users, Registration Sites and Intershop Ltd.

Normally, when it became clear that BB intended to welch on his agreements
with Intershop Ltd, a commercial decision could have been taken to cut our
losses and finish with him and Terminate.

Unfortunately, due to the outrageous slurs of software piracy, etc made on
both our company and its' employees, Intershop Ltd felt it had no
alternative to delivering the features promised by BB - RIPscrip Graphics,
a full script language and a full fax manager and in making our versions of
Terminate look as much as possible like previous versions - even though not
one line of code in versions 1.56, 1.57, 1.58, 1.59, 1.60, 1.70, 1.80, 1.81,
1.82, 1.83, 1.84, 1.85, 1.88 or 2.0n have been written by Bo Bendtsen.

By this we give a clear signal that we own the copyright to ALL versions of
Terminate - past, present and future - and anyone wishing to dispute this
has the easiest task in proving `look and feel' leaving only the issue of
ownership for a court to decide.

Although we believe that a court of law (where the laws of perjury and
evidence can help ensure a definitive conclusion) is the proper place to
definitively decide these issues, we do not believe that slurs should go
unanswered. We are, therefore, including the text of a number of messages.

The first are from our General Manager, Dr George Collins, writing in the
WEB: Terminated/ "Project CAIN" conference in Autumn 1994:

==================================================================
BB> As most of you know, this program has been stolen from its
BB> rightful owner, BO BENDTSEN, and has been widely distributed
BB> by Collins in an attempt to undermine Bendsten's business.

On 16 April 1994 in your bedroom at Albertslund, you agreed to
written terms to sell the copyrights and publishing rights for
Terminate to Intershop Ltd. You also confirmed that I could
continue to operate or delegate the operation of your personal
electronic REGsite, T-REGS until 15 April 1996.

Theft, even of intellectual property, is a CRIMINAL OFFENCE in the
British Isles and in Denmark. We have already published both my
address and 'phone number and that of Intershop Ltd; why do you
refuse to publish yours and instead behave as a fugitive from
justice?

I am willing (anxious would be the better word) to make an
appointment to meet with you at any police station in Europe to
test who is lying and who is the "Terminate thief". Which police
station and what date and time?

BB> "Dr" Collins has a track record that would make Josef Mengele
BB> seem like a reasonable man. HE IS A CROOK WHO IS OUT TO
BB> DEFRAUD YOU, THE USER, OF YOUR HARD-EARNED MONEY AND WHO WOULD
BB> NAIL HIS OWN GRANDMOTHER'S PELVIS TO THE COFFEE TABLE IF IT
BB> MEANT GETTING AN EXTRA FIVER OUT OF THE BARGAIN.

I am NOT an MD. I have a PhD and do not really care whether you
address me correctly and politely as Dr or any other epithet -
although I will confess that having "Dr George Collins" on my
Driving Licence makes life easier when I am stopped for speeding
(forced grin).

My paternal grandmother died when my father was seven; my maternal
grandmother when I was in my twenties and at University.

I remind you that you had the contractual right to re-purchase ALL
the rights you agreed to sell to Intershop Ltd for two thousand
pounds more than they paid you. Why do you risk gaol for fraud and
put thousands of users worldwide to the inconvenience of writing
away for new keyfiles simply to save the °2000 cost of re-
purchasing the rights to Terminate?

When you are in a hole because of the lies you have already told
Bo, my advice to you is to stop digging and start negotiating...
As you already know, my hand portable mobile 'phone number which
goes most places I go is: +44 850 748376

Both parts of the advice that the renowned Fido warrior Ron Dwight
gave you were good:
Stage 1: Since you can not argue on the facts, remain aloof and
above the fray.
Stage 2: If non-reply fails, try subtle character assassination.
Unfortunately you did not understand what he meant by subtle.

If Interstop were really illegally operating the T-REGS electronic
Regsite coded into version 1.41 at 136 Holland Street, Glasgow G2
4NB, why not get the police to close them down? (As you are well
aware when you visited Interstop before Christmas 1993 to install
T-REGS, their immediate next door neighbours are Strathclyde
Police headquarters!)

BB> "Dr" Collins has alienated nearly every individual
BB> he has ever had any business dealings with, including Jeff
BB> Woods from Telix.

Included in the second archive file for Terminate 1.57 will be the
original material for the Telix saga. Like you, Bo, Jeffrey L.
Woods has told a series of self-serving lies and half-truths and
the public will be able to make their own minds up whether the
relationship was severed because Interstop printed false Telix
labels without paying for them (again one must question why the
police were not called: the reason being that his german partners,
ELSA GmbH were paid by cheque for the provisional labels!) or
because Jeffrey L. Woods was too shortsighted to read the actual
text on my 1993 ONE BBSCON badge and had a fit of pique. Mmmm, I
must admit that there are certain parallels here: both of you made
an original wrong (in your view) decision and, instead of asking
to re-negotiate a deal in an honourable and adult way, publish
lies and half-truths under anothers' name rather than address the
central issues. At least Woods chose a real person (Zack Jones)
rather than an alias as his character assassin!

BB> He isn't even a real "Dr". He bought his doctorate from the
BB> USA.

At my first University in England, the tuition fees were paid by
the state. At my second, again in England, the tuition fees were
meant to have been paid by the National Coal Board - I do not
really feel that "who pays my course fees" is a subject germane
or relevant to Terminate - but I am prepared to be corrected. At
the third, as is usual with foreign students in the United States,
I had to pay my own tuition and exam fees before my thesis was
published. Perhaps you would care to outline your own academic
career if you REALLY feel this is relevant?

BB> He's Irish and has expressed support for the IRA. It is
BB> believed that some proportion of his profits go towards this
BB> gang of terrorists -- presumably this is why "Dr" Collin's
BB> voice on BBS messages is always spoken by an actor called
BB> "Radek".
BB> He has several previous convictions for credit card fraud,
BB> has gone profitably bankrupt four times in the past and has
BB> left a trail of angered creditors, owing sums well in excess
BB> of a million pounds.

A tip, Bo: try and make your lies have a kernel of truth; avoid
making statements that can be proven to be erroneous.

On this test, Goebbels would be proud of the first paragraph, but
would NOT have made the mistake of using the second.

Yes, I plead guilty to being Irish. I'm originally from Johnstown,
Co Waterford. And yes, my Grandfather was proud to have assisted
in the fight for independence from Britain. I think many Americans
(and others) do not realise that the original OFFICIAL Irish
Republican Army (`stickybacks') was a `traditional' socialist
colonial liberation movement and a member of the Third
International. It has had a `truce' for more than 20 years.

I do not believe that any of my family - if still alive - would
wish to be associated in any shape or form with the PROVISIONAL
IRA - I know I certainly don't. To set the record straight: both
my Mother and Father served with distinction in the Second World
War; my Mother in the Womens Royal Air Force and my Father in the
Eighth Army. It is because of their (and my own) military service
that under Sarks' somewhat quaint feudal laws, I am regarded as
a loyal Subject of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and have the
permission of the Seigneur of Sark to reside where I do.

The rest of your two paragraphs is totally and utterly false.

Radek Taus is the Managing Director of Intershop Ltd. He is Czech
and lives in Brno (but will be in London today and tomorrow if you
wish to meet him). If we can track you down, he will eventually
be giving evidence on oath in your trial, Bo. The court will be
able to determine his bona fides.

More free advice: You're right in thinking that you must AT ALL
COSTS prevent people installing and using Intershop Ltd's
Terminate 1.57. When they compare your illicit "Strathrory Systems
Ltd 1.50" with 1.57 it would be no contest - even if 1.57 was
priced at $200. The fact that 1.57 is FREE means that you are very
unlikely to make more than the °70,000 you have already pocketed
from Terminate. (Your 1.50 is single tasking, hogs processor time
under OS/2 and still contains many of the bugs reported from 1.41.
Your 1.50 still has no RIP, Scripts or adequate FAX or QWK
support)

Roderick Begbie and your other worshippers were doing quite a good
job before: they'd stopped most people evaluating Intershop Ltd's
version of Terminate by pretending it would not install and by
filling this conference with rubbish are succeeding in making
sysops and readers switch off. They've also done an excellent job
in ensuring that the `good guys' are too scared to make genuine
bug reports for 1.56 so
1) 1.57 won't be as good as it might otherwise be
2) We will replace some of the features in 1.56 with ascii
documents to refute their claims in 1.57.

BB> He has set himself up in Sark as part of a clever but
BB> illegal tax dodge in order to wring more out of you, the
BB> taxpayer.

Tax dodges can be clever OR illegal. They can't be both.
And now we get to the nub of the issue:

Did you, Bo Bendtsen agree or not agree to sell your rights to
Terminate to Intershop Ltd? And if yes, why? Who is lying - you
or me?

The deal that you did with Intershop Ltd meant that no tax
authority anywhere in the world could have made an adequate claim
for income tax against you: the signed contracts you hold
(together with relevant testimony from Intershop Ltd) clearly
prove that you relinquished ALL rights to income from Terminate
(except for a small percentage from the gross for maintaining and
developing the code and allowing use of your trademarks for two
years. And we both know that you planned on pretending that
Intershop Ltd had not even paid you that.)

Had you not welched on the contract you made with Intershop Ltd
almost all of the income received by Intershop Ltd on Sark would
have been paid to me as wages.

For example: Intershop Ltd earns °10,000,000 gross in 1995.
Deductible expenses: °2,000,000.
Gross profit taxable in Scotland (Intershop Ltd is a scottish
registered corporation): °8,000,000. Lucky taxman!

BUT if Intershop Ltd paid me °8,000,000 in wages in 1995 THEY pay
no tax since wages paid to employees are deductible before corporation
tax.

There is no income tax or employee insurance on Sark. Therefore
the full °8,000,000 would have been received into my bank account
on Sark.

I would have been feeling very generous towards the source of all
my income: Bo Bendtsen, the author of my employers' program. And
I dare say you planned to visit me regularly on the Isle of Sark
and see how generous I was still feeling? (And OF COURSE you would
have declared any cash gifts you received on Sark to the relevant
authorities? - because I have no legal obligation to declare who
I give un-birthday presents to...)

Clever? Maybe.
Illegal? No, unless you did not declare any gifts you were obliged
to declare by law - but that would be your law breaking NOT mine
or Intershop Ltds'...

BB> His plan is to convince you all to part with your cash for his
BB> new project, apparently called "Cain" but which is a carbon
BB> copy rip-off of Bo Bendtsen's TERMINATE. There is no doubt
BB> whatsoever that he will take the money and run, as he has in
BB> the past. Your cash investment will not purchase you any
BB> upgrades whatsoever due to "Dr" Collin's greed.

One tiny flaw here, Bo: versions of Terminate subsequent to 1.41 (and that
includes 1.50, 1.56 and 1.57) have been declared FREEware by Intershop Ltd.
It is YOU who is requesting money from the public for Terminate still - NOT
me or Intershop Ltd.

And let's be clear about this:
1)   "Project CAIN" will be a commercial program
2)   Not a single line of the more than 210,000 lines of code in "Project
     CAIN" will have been written by you.
3)   The bad smell of the name "Terminate" will not appear anywhere in it
     (although you will no doubt continue your campaign of character
     assassination since it now seems obvious that you do not know when your
     little plan has failed).
4)   The upgrade policy for "Project CAIN" will not depend on trust: Except
     for the first 2,000 buyers (who will qualify for lifetime free upgrades)
     people will buy exactly what they see. If they don't like it they don't
     have to buy it and if they change their mind they can return the program
     within 28 days for a full refund.

Additionally, buyers of "Project CAIN" will qualify for ONE (and one only -
except for the first 2,000 buyers) free upgrade. To get round the mistrust of
authors caused by *your* shenanigans with disabling legitimate keyfiles,
Intershop Ltd intends to conclude an escrow contract with the National
Computing Centre. This escrow contract will specify that, unless "Project
CAIN" is updated regularly and on time, the full code for "Project CAIN" will
be released as FREEware to the Public Domain (except for those proprietary,
licenced elements within it.)

BB> WHATEVER ELSE YOU DO, DON'T GET INVOLVED WITH ANYTHING "DR"
BB> COLLINS HAS IN STORE FOR US. THE MAN IS SIMPLY A CRIMINAL
BB> WITHOUT ANY IDEA OF MORALITY AND WHO IS EXPLOITING THE TRUST
BB> FOUND IN BBS SYSTEMS AND IN THE SHAREWARE MARKETING SYSTEM TO
BB> MAKE HIS OWN FRAUDULENT GAINS.
BB> GEORGE COLLINS IS A CRIMINAL. HAVE NO DEALINGS WITH HIM.

Ok, Bo. You no longer wish to play Marquis of Queensbury rules?

You have crossed the Rubicon.

If a liar unfairly accuses me of lying and criminality and feels immune from
discovery because of the presumption that I will behave like a gentleman
then I do not feel constrained by any duty of confidence any longer:

I now intend to release the text of the private e-mail you sent to me and
others (mostly registration sites and BETA Testers like Roderick Begbie)
together with my replies (except where they *unfairly* drag in third
parties). Folks can then form their own opinions as to who has been lying
through their scandinavian pearlies and who has the criminal intent. Since
we're talking about more than 2,000 messages here, I shall post some
highlights in a message in this conference to ALL and the rest will follow in
instalments: one instalment in Terminate 1.57 and the rest in Terminate
1.58

Don't you think that people are wondering why, in the past two months, none
of the Registration Sites have commented on your claims that you did NOT make
agreements with both myself and Intershop Ltd?

We all know the truth is different, of course. 22 of these registration sites
*including* Dietmar Kneidl in Germany and Ron Dwight in Finland saw your
proposed joint press release announcing the sale of Terminate to Intershop
Ltd. Many of them may have been thinking "Well, we know that Bo really did do
a deal with Intershop Ltd. BUT Bo has not given any code to Intershop Ltd so
if we leave the Church of Bo we will have nothing to sell. In this case,
possession of the code is nine-tenths of the law!"

Next week when they see that the new code for 1.57 published by Intershop Ltd
has more functionality and elegance, what do you think their reaction is
likely to be, Bo?

Some of them have tried desperately to stay neutral but recently the more
perspicacious have begun to create a little distance between you and your
lies - do you really think that this trend will diminish?

No, Bo this scandalous post today is the beginning of the end for you. Either
talk voice (preferably face to face) to resolve the situation or you will
inevitably find yourself in the criminal courts: you can not hide out for
ever.

I also remind you of the letter sent to you by my boss:

Dear Mr Bendtsen

Re:  TERMINATE: Breach of Contract

On Saturday 16 April 1994, after extensive negotiations, you agreed to sell
the publishing and copyrights to Terminate to my company, Intershop Ltd, so
that you could concentrate on programming and program development.

Unfortunately, since your last telephone conversation with our new General
Manager (and your former Publisher), Dr George Collins on 19 May 1994 you
have neither written, telephoned or visited to explain your increasingly
bizarre behaviour and complete and total lack of co-operation.

We appreciate that you may have difficulties of a personal nature but can no
longer tolerate a situation which is causing distress to users and
registration sites and a considerable reduction in both current and future
earnings for ourselves.

We must therefore issue an ultimatum:
If by 13:00hrs GMT Monday 15 August 1994 you have not

===================================================================

When Bo Bendtsen confined himself to small lies, I could ignore
them:

BB>This person was just a normal dealer of Terminate that got
BB>annoyed of being kicked out and now suddenly believes in wonders.

(the messages below will show that
1) far from being "just a normal dealer of Terminate" you delegated
   to me further responsibilities
 AND
2) that far from "being kicked out", it was *I* who tendered my
   resignation to you as early as 27 February 1994!

Because Bo Bendtsen has now accused me, in Private Netmails to his
Beta Test Team and others of being amongst other things a perverted
child molester I am taking the unusual step of releasing verbatim
the text of a selection of Private e-mail from and to him so that
people may form their own opinion as to whether he is to be trusted
in his libelous assertions

In some rare cases characters have been replaced with asterisks to
protect third parties.

My commentary (if any) is enclosed between three dollar signs:

Hi Steve,
         According to the following message from Bo Bendtsen:-

.... removed
Because George will be very busy in the next couple of weeks on
Sark, I have asked Ron Dwight of Finland (presently suspended
from TEAM TERMINATE) to select new moderators for BETA_TER and
BETA_CHAT_TER (if necessary).
.... removed

          Would you care to take over the moderation of these two
conferences? In my opinion, the current moderator is hurting the
reputation of both TERMINATE and upsetting (unnecessarily) the beta
testers. As an experienced moderator myself, I suggest that you simply
publish, in the conference itself, the "rules" you require and then keep
moderation, as much as possible, to NetMail.

          I know that you know how to moderate and hope you will
undertake this task. It looks like I won't be around for much longer,
but I am sure you can handle this task with ease. Thanks in advance. If
you need to contact me voice, then feel free to call on +358-0-2983307,
we are two hours in advance of your time <grin>.


                                                   Cheers,

CONFIDENTIAL and SECRET!!!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[So that the english is correct and there is no
misunderstanding, the current Publisher, George, has
corrected the language of my following statements.

I have thought long and hard about the future of Terminate
and how we can all keep the most money from our work]:

                               *

It was explained at the Darmstadt conference, 26-Feb-1994, that
T-REGS was NOT the electronic version of the Eire-GB REGsite.
On T-DAY, George Collins will cease to operate the Eire-GB
REGsite.
[Unless anyone has any better suggestions, on T-DAY the new
Eire-GB player will be ******** Mc******, SysOp of ALMAC (the
current Terminate support BBS in the British Isles) and Managing
Director of Almac BBS Ltd. (One of ********'s other companies is
Almac Computer Services Ltd, the IBM and Novell Netware Dealers in
Scotland)]

It was also explained at Darmstadt that, on T-DAY, the T-REGS
electronic registration site would move outside the United Kingdom
to that part of the world which Bo Bendtsen decided offered the
best combination of:
low taxation, good communications and political, meteorological
and seismic stability.

For the last few months George has been checking a short list of
eleven locations in the world and I have now made my choice.

The Isle of Sark, 30 kilometers west of Normandy in France is the
smallest independent state in the British Commonwealth and George
has now leased a cottage there, installed 5 telephone lines and
will live there in Rue du Moulin, Sark.

T-REGS will be operating from Sark after T-DAY.

[When Duke William of Normandy successfully invaded England in
1066 Sark, Guernsey, Alderney and Jersey were part of the Dukedom
of Normandy. The english crown eventually lost all its'
possessions in France except for these Channel Islands. So (except
for the German occupation during the Second World War) Sark has
been politically stable for more than 1000 years. The parliament
of Sark is called the Chief Pleas and the Head of State is the
Seigneur, Michael Beaumont. Although Sark is the feudal possession
of the English Crown, it is NOT in the United Kingdom (or European
Community) nor is it a British Colony like Bermuda, Gibraltar,
Hong Kong, Falkland Islands, etc, and the British Parliament does
NOT legislate for Sark!
Perhaps because of this, since 1561 there has never been any
income tax on Sark. Nor is there any VAT. (There is an annual
bicycle tax of °2.50). Because there is no crime, there is no
police force and cars are not allowed on Sark roads (everyone
walks, rides a horse or bicycle)

Although Sark is a quiet, sleepy pleasant island it has one of the
best, cheapest and most progressive telecommunications companies
in the world.
GT operates on Sark the latest type of System X, digital telephone
exchange with a capacity for 330,000 telephone lines -
although, currently, only about 800 lines are in use!

There has never been an earthquake, tsunami or tornado in recorded
history and the last volcanic activity was more than 7 million
years ago.]

It would seem sensible to collect my income on Sark from both
T-REGS *and* REGsites, so I am pleased to confirm that, from T-DAY
(which will be in May) REGsites will be calling SARK to collect
their keyfiles (and will be invoiced from Sark) and the price per
keyfile will be reduced from DM45 to °16 (currently about DM40).

T-REGS will also collect from Sark the money for Terminate Lite
and Plus licences (ie serialised Lite and Plus disk labels) on the
following scale (as also announced at Darmstadt):

     1 -   10  Terminate Lite/Plus Licenses = °59.95 each
    10 -   49  Terminate Lite/Plus Licenses = °19.95 each
    50 -   99  Terminate Lite/Plus Licenses = °10.00 each
   100 -  199  Terminate Lite/Plus Licenses = ° 8.00 each
   200 -  499  Terminate Lite/Plus Licenses = ° 6.00 each
   500 -  999  Terminate Lite/Plus Licenses = ° 4.00 each
  1000 - 1999  Terminate Lite/Plus Licenses = ° 2.00 each
  2000 - 4999  Terminate Lite/Plus Licenses = ° 1.55 each
  5000 - 9999  Terminate Lite/Plus Licenses = ° 1.35 each
 10000 -49999  Terminate Lite/Plus Licenses = ° 1.10 each
 50,000 plus   Terminate Lite/Plus Licenses = ° 1.00 each

Please note that discounts are again cumulative! (For example,
this means that once 980 licenses have been bought, you can
subsequently place an order for only twenty individual licenses
and only pay °2.00 each for these subsequent licenses...

Because George will be very busy in the next couple of weeks on
Sark, I have asked Ron Dwight of Finland (presently suspended
from TEAM TERMINATE) to select new moderators for BETA_TER and
BETA_CHAT_TER (if necessary). I have also asked him to prepare
immediately three files:

1. A complete plan of action for the future of TERMINATE. It
will state what he thinks MUST be done to get the entire operation
and organisation in a reasonable shape with everyone working as a
TEAM before T-DAY.

2) A marketing plan and strategy for Terminate in Finland
   (I want Ron back as a good player in TEAM TERMINATE if he can
    prove he is a good businessman)

3) "Operations guide". This "guide" will be issued to every
regsite and will contain the basic methods of operation. Instead
of the "rules" being only in someone's head or "somewhere in one
of the REGSITES messages, ALL of them will be available, in
writing, in a single place, for consultation.

$$$At 20:11hrs on the same evening of 17 April 1994 (the day
$$$immediately after the 16 April 1994 in his Bedroom at Albertslund
$$$when Bo Bendtsen had agreed to sell Terminate to Intershop Ltd)
$$$he and I finished drafting the following Press Release also for
$$$posting in REGSITES.TER. This can hopefully be
$$$verified by the various REGsites if Bo Bendtsen actually sent the
$$$draft as he pretended to me that he had:

CONFIDENTIAL and SECRET until 20 May 1994!!!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

T-DAY! Terminate 1.5 released
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Isle of Sark, 20 May 1994:
In a joint statement Bo Bendtsen, Author of Terminate, the
Final Terminal Program, announced the sale of the publishing
and copyrights for an undisclosed sum to the British software
publishing company, Intershop Ltd.

Bo said: "I started writing Terminate two years ago while studying
`Datalogi/Matematik' at Copenhagen University. I was unhappy with
the performance and slow pace of development of the other terminal
programs then available. During the summer vacation I enjoyed
coding Terminate so much that I decided to give up college if I
could get a little income from my program. I think Terminate was
the first program in history that someone tried to charge people
for a version admitted to be in Beta - that was version  0.37.
I was amazed when people paid me enough to continue the coding I
loved!
However, since version 1.2, the terrific success of Terminate -
there are now dealers in 27 countries - has meant that I have had
to spend too much time on business matters rather than the actual
programming that I enjoy so much. This new arrangement means that,
as Chief Programmer rather than Chief Executive I can now get back
to really making Terminate the Final Terminal!"

***** **********, Managing Director of Intershop Ltd declared "My
company releases the new DOS Shareware version 1.5 of Terminate
today and takes this oportunity to announce that work has already
started on OS/2 and Windows versions of Terminate. We will make
sure that all the PROFESSIONAL Key files already sold by Bo will
operate on these new Terminate operating platforms as well as the
new DOS versions of Terminate we plan to release at frequent
intervals."

The Shareware distribution files are 0150TER1.ZIP and 0150TER2.ZIP

**** ********, Technical Support Manager for Intershop Ltd,
revealed an entirely new network available for Terminate
PROFESSIONAL users:
"The new global FTS network TERMINeT guarantees competent support
by members of TEAM TERMINATE. This new FTS two-way mailer and host
integrated into every PROFESSIONAL version of Terminate means that
every user can at last become an independent self-contained part
of cyberspace.
I think Corporate users will also particularly appreciate the
guaranteed 24 hour response in our WEB Terminate conference."

******** *******, Marketing Director for Intershop Ltd said she
"was particularly happy to introduce new Terminate distributors in
Canada, Finland, Greece, Japan, Norway, Spain, South Africa and
The Netherlands for version 1.5. When these are added to
Terminates' existing dealer network in America, Australia,
Belgium, the British Isles, Denmark, France, Germany, Israel,
Italy, New Zealand, Portugal, Quebec, Sweden, Switzerland and
Turkey it means that Terminates' on-line help files are now
available in ALL major european languages together with Hebrew and
Turkish!"

Here is an excerpt from HISTORY.DOC in the new version 1.5 of
Terminate released today:

* Written in: NETMAIL
Today, I am making financial commitments of some °28,000
as regards to Terminate.       (300,000 DKR  ?)

°8,000 for the 2 year lease on Sark
°20,000 for the salary cost of the full time support technician
I am hiring tomorrow.

I'm confident that if the Author does a good job with the coding
and the Publisher with the rest, both will be rather rich,
rather quickly.

This last week has concentrated my mind and I think it is time
to talk again about what I proposed before.

This way
1) EVERYONE (except the tax authorities) will get more money
2) The Author will get more time to code (and not be regarded
as a greedy guy in the Fido world.)
3) The Publisher will be able to run things in a business like
way: ie listen carefully to all points of view, make a business
decision and then make that decision known.

As you know, I have checked out the Sark situation thoroughly
and the four telephone lines will be in next week.
Intershop Ltd is a new company with overseas directors.

At the moment, on T-DAY you would get °16 for each keyfile sold
to REGsites. I understand that out of this you either get

1) less than °8 if you obey Danish tax law
or
2) run the risk of Jail.

I propose again what I talked about before, Two (2) signed
legal contracts for the benefit of outsiders:

Contract A: (Dated 15 April 1994)
Intershop Ltd buys the copyrights and publishing rights
to Terminate for °4,000 (you declare this °4,000 to Danish
tax authorities and keep the Trademarks you own secret.)
You also agree to maintain and update the code for a further
1% of turnover each year payable 1 year in arrears. (You can
then either declare this 1% and pay tax on it - or claim
Intershop cheated you.)

Contract B: (Date left blank for completion by you whenever
             you want)
Intershop Ltd SELLS the copyrights and publishing rights
to Terminate for °6,000 (you declare this °6,000 to Danish
tax authorities as an expense and keep the Trademarks you own
secret.)


Real effect:
1) You get °10 instead of °8 for each keyfile. You can come to
Sark and collect it in cash, OR I will get ***** to courier it
anywhere in the world OR I can electronic SWIFT transfer it
anywhere you want (last option NOT recommended)

2) You run no risk of Jail.

3) You get to code in peace and the glory of continuing to
produce
                        T E R M I N A T E
                          by Bo Bendtsen

                     (c) 1992-94 Intershop Ltd

together with the Freeware TerMail and filemanager...

4) More keyfiles are sold because it is quite clear about our
respective responsibilities and you are free to write better
code and I can run things in a more businesslike way employing
a professional Public Relations team...

Practical Changes needed now:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Not a lot!

You continue to generate the keyfiles on your machine in DK and
send me accounts as to who owes Intershop Ltd how much for the
time being

T-REGS remains physically in Glasgow for the time being with
calls diverted from Sark.

Intershop Ltd sends out new offers of contract to the existing
and new REGsites 14 days before T-DAY

A press release on T-DAY, something on the lines of:

Version 1.5 of TERMINATE, the Final Terminal released!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Copenhagen, Denmark, 3 May 1994:

Bo Bendtsen and associates announced the sale to Intershop Ltd,
for an undisclosed sum, of all rights to TERMINATE, the Final
Terminal. Bo Bendtsen stressed that he would continue to be the
chief programmer for TERMINATE and that he looked forward to even
faster development now he could concentrate on coding rather than
publishing.

Sark, Channel Islands, 3 May 1994:

Intershop Ltd announced the Publication today of version 1.5 of
TERMINATE, the Final Terminal in Shareware, Lite and Professional
versions.

Worldwide, private sales of Terminate are now greater than for
any other DOS datacomms terminal program with distributorships in
Austria, France, Israel, Italy, New Zealand, Portugal, Quebec, USA
Canada, Turkey, Denmark, South Africa, Brazil, Germany, Argentina,
Greece, Mexico, Japan, Belgium, Taiwan, Australia, Spain, Britain
Hong Kong, Ireland, Sweden, South Africa, Norway, Greeece and
Switzerland.

Terminate already had many features to appeal to professional
users such as the ability to utilise Interupt 14 over a network,
ISDN and Digiboard support. Extensive password protection allows
Network Supervisors to password protect the configuration, point
system, file manager and all user editable places in the
phonebook. There is a built-in screensaver and the keyboard can
also be locked when you leave your machine.

Terminate 1.5 adds a complete Fax manager which totally
revolutionises the

PAT (Personal Assistant for Terminate) automates most common
communication tasks in a way that users do not have to struggle
with complex scripts.

Terminate now includes a professional quality host mode with
IEMSI, ansi coloured and moving screens and the first built-in two
way Hydra file transfers. It's integral Fido type mailer and front
door is now two way with the ability to receive as well as
initiate calls.

Asked to comment on why so many people in so many countries were
now buying in record breaking numbers, author Bo Bendtsen said
"Local language support helps but many people now realise that
Terminate is the only full featured comms program with context
sensitive on-line help, a full colour ansi/avatar scrollback
buffer and a host mode that is able to receive fax, data or mailer
calls - all at a price of about $45 or equivalent in local
currency. Even the thrifty Scots are going for Terminate in a
big way!"

Hello George

I cannot not comment on that netmail you sent me!
Neither in netmail, voice or in writing.

If anything is decided, no public announcements will be available as you
suggest.
I will be the only one that have these document without you having
copies as you allready agreed on.

I will not discuss this matter other than face to face.

When you are asking me these things over the phone it sometimes feels like
you
are wanting me to say things to your recorder, please do not make me feel
like
this anymore.

When you call while I am concentrating you stop me from working and I loose
important time because when I first start on a boring problem and is
interrupted
it is hard starting again.

Yup, I know the feeling of being chained to a computer with
T-REGS - with only 30 registrations a week from it it's a bit
uneconomic to staff T-REGS round the clock - so I'm closing it when I go
to bed. I need at least 50 registrations a week from it to keep it
open 24 hours a day.

 BB> advertising for Terminate and I want it to keep on running.

Yup! You should be able to do a deal where it is self-financing at
least with money from subscriptions (WEB might help with that...) and
I would advise keeping DAN BBS the Danish member of TEAM TERMINATE so
they can get income from that and other registrations for other
authors...

 BB> I do not want anyone to know that this is what I am planning.

Well, bear in mind that at Darmstadt I pressed you to give a promise
that you would hire a full time SysOp and not spend so much time on
it so it shouldn't be a secret to the members of TEAM TERMINATE...

This announcement would fit in very well with my netmail...

                                *

Now I do need an answer to my question:

Is the registration form I completed for you for ONE BBSCON correct?

Does anything need changing?

If not, shall I fax them that together with my own registration form?

I understand that, Bo.

I will take the KLM flight via Amsterdam and arrive in Copenhagen
airport 16:00hrs this thursday 14 April 1994.

Would you be kind enough and ask your father if I can sleep on his
office floor again?

I shall leave on the 16:40hrs flight from Copenhagen Airport and use
the time to check all the screens for correct english as well.


 BB> If anything is decided, no public announcements will be available as you
 BB> suggest.

Then there would be little or no point to the exercise since

1) The Danish tax authorities need to understand that you no longer
have any entitlement to receive the large worldwide income from Terminate
(and a public announcement of transfer together with your signed copy
of the document is 100% waterproof)

2) The REGsites (and the public) need to understand that they talk to
you about coding but all commercial and boring bureaucratic matters
are dealt with by the Publisher. Right now, everyone is still a little
confused that this is some sort of Fido thing rather than a serious
commercial business. (I anticipate some difficulty in getting large
corporate modem manufacturers to do business with DAN BBS rather than a
properly constituted corporation...)


 BB> I will be the only one that have these document without you having

Agreed is agreed and no problem.


 BB> When you are asking me these things over the phone it sometimes feels
 BB> like you
 BB> are wanting me to say things to your recorder, please do not make me

It's because I don't want you feeling this way that I crawled around in
the attic and disconnected the recorder on the +44   41 *** **** number.
That's the line I use when I call you.


 BB> When you call while I am concentrating you stop me from working and I
 BB> loose
 BB> important time because when I first start on a boring problem and is

1) I try to wait until you call me
2) It's becuase I understand this that I am trying to get you to
prioritise your time:

You are not Superman and I do not think you can both code quickly and
well for Terminate, have a social life
AND
run the Publishing side of Terminate and DAN BBS.

You need to choose
1) If there will be a Publisher after 5 June 1994 - or whether you
will attempt to handle all the boring commercial detail yourself.

2) Who that Publisher will be so I can ensure a smooth handover to
him/her/it in the 7 weeks ahead.

Whatever you decide, you have MY promise that
1) I will try and run T-REGS efficiently for you for 2 years.
2) I will try and work closely with whoever you choose as Publisher to
ensure a smooth transition (even if it's Ron Dwight - grin!)
3) I will try and find a super new EIRE-GB REGsite: right now Almac
BBS Ltd would seem to be the best choice.

and I have YOUR promise that I can run T-REGS for 2 years.

Good

 GC> You are not Superman and I do not think you can both code quickly

 GC> side of Terminate and DAN BBS.

And run a major BBS here in Denmark. That is why I invited the two guys I
want
to run DAN BBS out on monday. How would you do if you wanted someone to run
your system.
Everything is payed, no money owed. Users paying is around 900 by now,
the income alone for paying users is only 1000°, but could easily be raised
to
2000° just by sending out letters etc. I would like these guys also to be the
danish registration site for Terminate (DAN BBS), so I also could be sure
that
DAN BBS only supported Terminate (advertising). In this way they would be
able
of making a lot of money as well, while I could sit back and 'relax'.

 GC> You need to choose
 GC> 1) If there will be a Publisher after 5 June 1994 - or whether you

Lets talk about this later

Ok, we will see..  but you allready suggested this girl..

And make sure that the publisher does what I want.

 GC> and I have YOUR promise that I can run T-REGS for 2 years.

Of course, as long as we agree on the terms. We still need to discuss the
deals
with the other authors and stuff like that, but I could see anyone take over
your job anyway. Did you talk with your sister ?

 GC> Again, however it goes, I want to remain your friend!

This is crap....
There are a lot of definitions of being friends. I put people into certain
boxes:

The ones I know............  i don't know how many that is
Friends....................  I only have one real friend, who I used to drink
                             beer, play football etc. I have not seen him in
                             several month, he is coming on friday.
Business friends...........  You and the registration sites.
Computerfriends............  You and the co-sysops, and some other friends.
                             (Somebody I rarely see but talk a lot over the
                             phone with).
Those who claim to know me   .... I do simple not know how many that is ....

Thats just my definition.

OK, I'll try and change it to arrive in Copenhagen airport 16:00hrs

I'll sleep somewhere else rather than disturb you until 13:00hrs

 My understanding is that an individual who leaves Denmark after
 having been a permanent resident for at least four years (eg YOU!)
 remains resident for income tax purposes for up to four more
 years unless he proves taht he is subject to a substantially
 equivalent income tax in his new country - in which case there
 is not much point in moving just for this reason and the Sark
 arrangement would still be advantageous for your new foreign
 residence.

Now you may say that once you are abroad the danish tax people
can't reach you - but do you really want to worry about them
arresting you for tax evasion every time you visit Denmark?

Both of them and they don't feel like being prisoners in their

 BB>
 BB> This is crap....

I mean it. I don't say things I don't mean to people who
are not my enemies. If that sounds emotional claptrap to
you it is still something very relevant to me.

I felt extremely angry when I read that, but I will read
that as meaning that you are pretending to be a cold fish
- well I don't believe that and if I find out that you
REALLY have no loyalty or any of the other of the qualities
associated with friendship then I will have to deal with
you on another level - in which case we will both probably
be the poorer for it.

Please send me the files that Ron writes if and when he does
and tell me if the changed flight times are more convenient...

I never promised to hire a full time sysop. I promised to hire someone to do
things I could do without. And by having someone to take over the system is
better than you probably dreamed on, so stop being rude again.

I think so, but if I want to deduct the trip (taxes) i would need a bill
myself.

What's rude? I GENUINELY thought that you had got someone else
to help with DAN BBS. Obviously progress will be MUCH slower than
expected if you're having to work with the BBS and code in your
spare time.

To me the main message I got from Darmstadt, was that we were
going to treat this as full-time commercial business...

I'm not being intentioanlly rude here.
I'm just very worried that (in my terms) we're 4 - 10 months behind
schedule with Terminate Lite and it will shortly be impossible to
interest the major modem manufacturers with a non-Windows product.

You want me to lie to you and say I think we're on schedule?

Saturday 16 April 1994, arrive Copenhagen 11.10hrs

(If you can spend some time with me on the Saturday I could fly back
on the Monday, otherwise it would need to be the tuesday if we can
only conduct business on Sunday and monday...)

Hello George!

Monday April 11 1994, George Collins writes to Bo Bendtsen:

 GC> Please 'phone me about this at your earliest convenience...

Do NOT bring ANY prewritten documents of any kind. If we will make a document
we will make it TOGETHER without having anything to start from.
And if we finish something you will not have any form of copies, right!!

I still want this lawyer to sort out my financiel status and possibilities.
If we don't have someone 3 party, I would feel that you would have complete
control over my finances because I am not very experienced in these matters
and would have to follow you advice without knowing anything about it and
since I also am a very independent person on these matters I want to handle
my money-affairs personally, since I must have the right to some privacy,
right.
You don't tell me where and how much money you got, same thing, I do not want
to know. I will not even ask you since I really DON'T want to know.
I normally does not get angry at anyone and knows how to relax. I have the
same trouble with my girl I cannot move in together with her because I do
not know what she does if she looses her temper.

What would happend if you got angry at me and lost your temper. Don't say:
well since I am a nice guy I would never get angry at you. But instead think
about if you thought I was cheating you or telling you lies. What would
happend then if you stopped trusting me. I trust you to handle these things,
but what would happend if you suddenly stopped trusting me. I think it is
your job to convince me that you will not loose your temper with me.

If I move to London:

I do not pay Danish tax.
I will pay British tax for the british income. FINE i need some money to
live on. And since everything is much cheaper in England, the taxes does
not mind.
I do not have to pay taxes if the regsite is sending money to You anyway and
could decide how much to pay, exactly like if I lived in Denmark.
I will not pay taxes of my worldwide income, since it will be sent to You
and from there it will go to another destination which I will choose.
I can spend 180 days in a row in Denmark (per year). Which does not matter
since I do not plan to spend a lot of time in Denmark anyway.
If nothing works out and the tax-man wants some money, I would only have to
pay  British tax and not Danish Tax.

Why am I feeling that you do not want me to move to London ?

Please do not start this same thing as Ron:
Ron says: I have been in the business for 30 years, so I know what is best
George says: I have beaten several lawyers, so I know what is best.
Same story.. whenever you pull out this argument, my mind says: boringggg..
I can't help it sorry about that.

This lawyer said that it was 45000° before paying VAT and that it would be
raised to 90000° to help small companies. Is this right ? I think you told me

before. Is this right ?

Hello George!

Sunday April 10 1994, George Collins writes to Bo Bendtsen:

 GC> OK, I'll try and change it to arrive in Copenhagen airport
 GC> 16:00hrs this Saturday 16 April 1994, returning Tuesday 19 April.

 GC> I'll sleep somewhere else rather than disturb you until 13:00hrs
 GC> Sunday 17 April.

Ok, but how long are going to stay ?

 GC> I felt extremely angry when I read that, but I will read
 GC> that as meaning that you are pretending to be a cold fish
 GC> - well I don't believe that and if I find out that you
 GC> REALLY have no loyalty or any of the other of the qualities
 GC> associated with friendship then I will have to deal with
 GC> you on another level - in which case we will both probably
 GC> be the poorer for it.

Well don't get this wrong, but you cannot claim that we are pals just after
being two times together. And it is still nothing to do with loyalty. All of
my friends are computerfriends (except 1), i never lie to any of them or
distrust any of them, so I cannot see the problem. What is your definition as
friends like us. Just because you have a definition about enemies, friends,
passives.

Does not mean that your definition is the same for me or other people.
If you cannot handle direct information and want it the soft way, you should
say so. But your misunderstandment is only coursed because you feel that your
own definition should be my definition. Nobody is the same all over.

 GC> Please send me the files that Ron writes if and when he does
 GC> and tell me if the changed flight times are more convenient...

Ron send me a file, marked VERY confidence between Ron & Bo. It would be
unethical of me to give you this document, it says that it must be
confidential until a decision is made about there regsite status. But it
have a lot of good ideas for a business structures and is a very long
document. He would write an even longer document if he is allowed to stay.

What would you advice me to do ?

 GC>  My understanding is that an individual who leaves Denmark after
 GC>  having been a permanent resident for at least four years (eg
 GC>  YOU!) remains resident for income tax purposes for up to four more
 GC>  years unless he proves that he is subject to a substantially
 GC>  equivalent income tax in his new country - in which case there
 GC>  is not much point in moving just for this reason and the Sark
 GC>  arrangement would still be advantageous for your new foreign
 GC>  residence.

I know a lawyer in London, which will handle this for me, the mainrule is 4
years with some countries, both since we have a dubble-taxasion system.
I know this guy very well since he has worked for my father and his company
actually help danish people to move to England.
I can stay 180 days in Denmark per year, which probably is fine since I
probably have to travel a lot more than I use to.
Don't worry about this, it will all be handled with care.

Hello George!

Ron again send me a letter starting with:
  Personal, private and absolutely confidential

He now says that you told him that it is not your job to hire/fire regsites
but only to recommend. I really thought that I gave you the authority to do
this, so I wouldn't have to think about these things. Of course we will
consult eachother.

Perhaps Ron did not read the below message and surely not understand that you
are in charge of handling this. How come that he still wants me to decide
this whenever I public announced that the publisher handles this ?

Perhaps someone do not understand what I trust the publisher to do!

The publisher make the official announcements for Terminate.
The publisher handles all applications for new regsites.
The publisher handles all problems with regsites.
The publisher decides who is in TEAM TERMINATE
The publisher is in charge of global marketing and strategy.
The publisher is representing me, the author.

Handles also mean decide.

This means that the worst person to become unfriendly with is of course the
publisher. So always try to get along with the publisher and listen to
his/her advice.

I appoint alone who is the publisher and can without notice remove any
publisher and reinstate a new.

In the future I will trust the publisher to do most of these things without my
interference. If the publisher is not thinking like me or making the wrong
decisions he/she will be removed without notice just like in a normal
business.

There are no plans of removing George Collins as the publisher.

Kwong (where we no longer care). Just copy what you know and I'll

Since you have now sent this message publicly I would suggest the
following course of action.

Send a message to Ron saying:

"Until 5 June 1994 (or until I sack him or he resigns - whichever is
the earlier) I have delegated my authority to hire and fire REGsites
to George Collins as Publisher. Unless you have a complaint that he
should be immediately removed as Publisher or REGsite (with good
reasons, of course) I do NOT want to be bothered with
NON-technical or Publishing matters. I must code!

George and I have already asked you to send three
files to the Publisher via DAN BBS:

1) Your proposed contract clearly laying out the rights and
responsibilities of REGsites

2) Your proposals for changes in the way we operate
(your "Operations Manual")

3) Your marketing plan with regard to Terminate, Terminate Lite
and Terminate Plus in Finland (you may wish to make some
comments on the global situation).

I am sure that when he sees these, George will make the right
decision as regard to your status - and if he doesn't I will
over-rule him.

Now, please, deal in a friendly business-like way with George
and let me code in peace. I do not want to play any more secrecy
games unless you can give me a very good reason not to trust
George -
and those reasons must be ones that I can check with George or
someone else!

PS: You will also need to talk to George about `Pirate REGsites'

Let's wait and see what's decided this weekend, since whoever
replaces me as Publisher will have to continue to deal with RON
- only 3 days now before I hope to hear who's replacing me...

Did you send my suggested message to Ron?

The Publisher would find those three files I asked Ron to write

That's my hope, which is why he was suspended.

But everyone has to learn from this experience - I know I have!

 BB> But of course the longer time that goes along, the more nervous he would

 BB> get, but we must be nice. So ?

Ron prefers clarity, and I think we should be in a position to give
him a clear answer after this weekend.

 BB> really do
 BB> care about this and I know that it is just a personal demand from you
 BB> since
 BB> your messages looked wrong. But the others guys are right this time. A

This is something that Ron is VERY confused on (maybe others too)

1. I moderate BETA_TER
   I moderate BETA_TER from within BETA_CHAT_TER so as to reduce
   excess ascii for you to read to the minimum.

2. I moderate (invisibly and with reluctance since I did not want
   to directly contradict you) BETA_CHAT_TER.

3. I (rarely) co-moderate TERMINAT wearing my hat as any of the
   TEAM TERMINATE members able to moderate TERMINAT

4. I moderate no other conference.

5. I (along with Thomas Bradford) made a personal request in TERMINAT
   to reduce line lengths to below 66 columns and start at column 0
   since, otherwise, my mailer (TerMail 1.2) mangled up their quotes
   and I had much better things to do than re-format them. Maybe we
   can fix something in TerMail?

6. I have FEROCIOUSLY moderated BETA_TER because I saw some (Chen for
   example) getting rather chatty. If your nimble brain does not need
   this, then I misunderstood and will stop immediately.

 BB> moderator should not complain about this. Not in public anyway. Example:

I'm either moderating or a user.

When I moderate I do it in public since that means that
polite private or public warnings have already been ignored.

 BB> have  omething to 'give' to Ron so he will get happy. The definition
 BB> on a good
 BB> moderator is a guy that nobody actually knows about, never see's any
 BB> letters
 BB> from, and which only use netmail the first time. You allready admitted
 BB> that you have a problem with people about this

I only know how to send a netmail to you. Perhaps I will learn
something new this weekend (grin)

We will give something new to Ron, I hope: a new way of looking at
his fellow team players...
 BB> The scratched Irish record is playing again: Well I am Irish I can't
 BB> help it.
 BB> Perhaps a shrink or therapy could help you ;-)
 BB> (To make you nervous, 15-20 minutes wasted by this message)

I just kicked the (non-existent) cat...

Don't worry, be happy, and let's hope to get everything clarified
this weekend...

a brand new and unknown start-up company Acme Ltd... (or have you
had a secret call from Billionnaire Bill? <grin>)

However, as part of the new arrangements to invoice from Sark (no
taxes or VAT or bureaucracy, remember) we have already formed a
Private Limited Liability Company to handle the invoicing, etc., so
this would not take too long to arrange if it were thought suitable.

I think any press release would have to be handled VERY carefully,
though -
Is this the sort of thing you had in mind?:

"T-DAY! Terminate 1.5 released
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Isle of Sark, 20 May 1994:
In a joint statement Bo Bendtsen, Author of Terminate, the
Final Terminal Program, announced the sale of the publishing
and copyrights for an undisclosed sum to the software
publishing company, Acme Ltd.

Bo said: "I started writing Terminate two years ago while studying
`Datalogi/Matematik' at Copenhagen University. I was unhappy with
the performance and slow pace of development of the other terminal
programs then available. During the summer vacation I enjoyed
coding Terminate so much that I decided to give up college if I
could get a little income from my program. I think Terminate was
the first program in history that someone tried to charge people
for a version admitted to be in Beta - that was version  0.37.
I was amazed when people paid me enough to continue the coding I
loved!
However, since version 1.2, the terrific success of Terminate -
there are now dealers in 27 countries - has meant that I have had
to spend too much time on business matters rather than the actual
programming that I enjoy so much. This new arrangement means that,
as Chief Programmer rather than Chief Executive I can now get back
to really making Terminate the Final Terminal!"

Marilyn Sellemalot, Managing Director of Acme Ltd declared "My
company releases the new DOS Shareware version 1.5 of Terminate
today and takes this oportunity to announce that work has already
started on OS/2 and Windows versions of Terminate. We will make
sure that all the PROFESSIONAL Key files already sold by Bo will
operate on these new Terminate operating platforms as well as the
new DOS versions of Terminate we plan to release at frequent
intervals."

The Shareware distribution files are 0150TER1.ZIP and 0150TER2.ZIP

Ron Iknowitall, Technical Support Manager for Acme Ltd,
revealed an entirely new network available for Terminate
PROFESSIONAL users:
"The new global FTS network TERMINeT guarantees competent support
by members of TEAM TERMINATE. This new FTS two-way mailer and host
integrated into every PROFESSIONAL version of Terminate means that
every user can at last become an independent self-contained part
of cyberspace.
I think Corporate users will also particularly appreciate the
guaranteed 24 hour response in our WEB Terminate conference."

Caroline Flashemalot, Marketing Director for Acme Ltd said she
"was particularly happy to introduce new Terminate distributors in
Canada, Finland, Greece, Japan, Norway, Spain, South Africa and
The Netherlands for version 1.5. When these are added to
Terminates' existing dealer network in America, Australia,
Belgium, the British Isles, Denmark, France, Germany, Israel,
Italy, New Zealand, Portugal, Quebec, Sweden, Switzerland and
Turkey it means that Terminates' on-line help files are now
available in ALL major european languages together with Hebrew and
Turkish!"

Here is an excerpt from HISTORY.DOC in the new version 1.5 of
Terminate released today:

Or were you just thinking to have the Lite and Plus versions
handled by a corporation to add credibility?

What do the other members of the Team think?

Would it help or hinder your sales efforts to have Terminate
published by a company as opposed to an individual?

I can follow your reasoning on that, Arthur.

That also seems true - although personally I feel that for our
*private users* (in the vast majority at the moment, although that
proportion will change as we penetrate the commercial, corporate
markets) they appreciate the personal even amateur touch that they
are paying a person (ie the Author, Bo Bendtsen) rather than a
faceless corporation...

 AM> Arthur: Yes, it's developed by a Danish (what whas that Island name?)
 AM> company
 AM> and they are working hard on new features.

Yes, I think if we used a Company it should be from a respectable
well known jurisdiction like Britain, Germany, Switzerland, USA,
etc.

The company we formed to do the invoicing from Sark is, in fact,
a British registered company, NOT Channel Islands registered since
it needed to be able to accept credit cards with T-REGS...

 AM> Look how the 2nd answer looks: THEY! .. More people work on it. If Bo
 AM> gets
 AM> into the hospital then things are not lost for the company that
purchased
 AM> 1000 copies last week because all development continues.

Yes, for public relations purposes this might look better.
Although I must stress that the reality is that only Bo holds
the code and we really would be sunk without him. Maybe we need
to take out `key man insurance'? <grin>

Maybe we could have duality? Lite and Plus versions published by
Acme Ltd and Shareware version remains published by Bo bendtsen -
or would that be too confusing?

 AM> A company name could be Bendtsen Software Development or whatever name.
 AM> Any
 AM> name would probably sound better than Bo Bendtsen for companies (unless
 AM> they already have a (positive) history with him.

I think I would favour a shorter name - if only when answering the
phone or printing labels (grin)...

Absolutely right, Arthur, but we must none of us lose sight
of the fact that those private users out there are both our
front-line sales force and our number 1 source of new ideas
to make Bo's original slogan unassailable: the Final Terminal!
 AM> -> The company we formed to do the invoicing from Sark is,
 AM> -> in fact, a British registered company, NOT Channel
 AM> -> Islands registered since it needed to be able to accept

 AM>
 AM> Well, most invoicing will be done to us (the distributors) I hope :) So
 AM> that
 AM> might not be very important. What's important is the source of the
 AM> software.

Correct, although the Sark company will also invoice manufacturers
directly where there is no intermediate REGsite involvement or where
the REGsite prefers that arrangement (for example, becasue of local
currency exchange, tax, bureaucracy, VAT problems, etc...)

 AM> -> Although I must stress that the reality is that only Bo
 AM> -> holds the code and we really would be sunk without him.
 AM> -> Maybe we need to take out `key man insurance'? <grin>
 AM>
 AM> I thought we would get a key for the safe where the code is kept? :)

You mean a skull trepanner (sorry, bo, offcolour joke!)

 AM> One of the main advantages to my opinion would be that no matter what,
 AM> the code
 AM> in the registered version is not available in a shareware version. So
 AM> there's nothing to crack..

Yup, that's a plus but minuses include:

1) separate Beta testing programs 'cos codes are different
2) less feedback form the users - who tend to be less involved
with over-the -counter software
3) We can't get incremental sales from the upgrades
4) We lose database marketing opportunities afforded by knowing the
personal details of our customers directly when they upgrade.
5) Lost opportunities for synergy with other shareware authors
- it'll be tough out there competing head to toe on the splendour of
our shelf packaging and how many journalists we can bribe to do
favourable reviews rather than having the inside track that happy
users may not pay themselves but may persuade their bosses to buy...

As the money comes in, though, we hope we can do an increasingly
professional job in the retail marketplace with the Plus version...

I installed version 18 (complete with tserver.chk in same directory)

But now none of the ALT commands work at all!

ie I can't configure, answer the line, go to database view or even

What is delaying me right now is not knowing that you have a specific

I shall shortly be posting by Airmail new offers of

These must arrive back with me on Sark before 6 May 1994
so please post in here immediately your correct Postal
Addresses - even if they have not changed.

(I don't think these contracts add anything really new, but they
do formalise your new relationship (for invoicing, etc) with the
new company on Sark. When they have been returned, you will then
get something you can hang on your wall or produce to prove your
bona fides. I will also attempt to do what Ron refused and try
and produce an operations guide.)

Dear ********

Re:  TEAM TERMINATE: Offer of Contract

As an existing player, you are aware that the consensus was
for a company to publish Terminate. Bo continues as the
Chief Programmer but has transferred the publishing and
copyrights to Intershop Ltd so that he can concentrate on
programming and program development.

We would ask you to keep these developments secret until T-
DAY next month.

Intershop Ltd hopes to be able to offer you products to sell
from other authors in the very near future - we think that
the worldwide sales team we are building is really something
rather special!

We therefore enclose two copies of a proposed distribution
agreement. Please sign both copies (after initialling any
necessary amendments) and return one copy to us, keeping one
copy for yourselves.

You will notice that the agreement is personal to yourself.
This does not stop you making whatever local arrangements
you think appropriate, be they partnerships or corporations
- but the direct relationship and responsibility will always
be yours.

You will also notice that frequent reference is made to the
"TEAM TERMINATE Operations Manual" which will be amended and
issued by the Publisher at frequent intervals.
For the time being this is the accumulation of the
instructions given by Bo Bendtsen and we are urgently
engaged on summarising, codifying and simplifying this
manual so that a new edition can be published before T-DAY.


Sincerely yours

Dr George Collins, Publisher
for & on behalf of INTERSHOP LIMITED

                     EXCLUSIVE DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT

This exclusive distributor agreement is made and entered into by and
between Intershop Limited, a limited liability private company
incorporated under the laws of Scotland having a normal place of
business on the Isle of Sark, hereinafter called the Publisher and
******** Mc******, a natural individual residing at 141 Bo'ness
Road, Grangemouth, Stirlingshire FK3  9BS in the Kingdom of
Scotland, hereinafter called the Distributor.
In consideration of the Distributor using his best efforts to
promote the sales and reputation of the Publishers products and the
mutual promises contained herein, the parties agree as follows:


1.   PRODUCT DEFINITION: All products distributed by the Publisher.

2.   DURATION OF THE CONTRACT: The terms and agreement found in this contract
     shall be in effect for six calendar months starting from the date of the
     signing of the contract. At the end of that time, if Distributor sales
     have been significant enough to justify the exclusivity arrangement, and
     if both parties agree, a new and longer Distribution Agreement will be
     entered into.

3.   DISTRIBUTION RIGHTS: Publisher grants the exclusive distribution rights
     for the products listed in Item #1 to Distributor. These rights will be
     in effect for the duration set forth in Item #2 and applicable in the
     geographical areas set forth in Addendum #1.

     In addition, Publisher does not agree not to sell directly to any person
     within said area, but does agree that, if such sales are made, they will
     be at normal United Kingdom retail prices and not discounted for volume
     or carriage.

4.   PRICING: The agreed pricing for all products subject to this contract
     are listed in Addendum #2. Distributor is responsible for all shipping,
     handling and production costs.

5.   PAYMENT: Payment will be on receipt of invoice. Publisher reserves the
     right not to ship new orders until previous invoices have been settled
     in full.

6.   SHIPMENT OF ORDERS:

Bo,
   This message is HARD and it "tells it like it is", I am sure you are not
going to like it, but someone has to say this because I personally believe
that you are in a LOT of trouble and you just don't see it yet.  This would
not be a real problem, but you are failing to listen to and understand people
who are continually warning you of the hole you are digging for yourself.

          As this copy was sent via NetMail, can I presume that I have now
been
removed from REGSITES.TER?  If so, for what reason and why without notice?
Please answer this one IMMEDIATELY and CRASH as I am not willing to continue
sales and support while these silly games are going on.

          George stated that my write access to REGSITES.TER would be removed
at the end of April and read access at the end of May, if this access has been
removed NOW, I would like to know why.

 > ==================================================

 > Basicly nothing changes with this contract. It is made

          When a contract is entered into, legal obligations are made and the

signatories are BOUND to follow them.  It matters nothing about any
"explanation" that you or George or anyone else cares to make, the ONLY
important points are those written into the contract.  If they are not
satisfactory, then they must be changed.  The fact that you believe a simple
explanation is enough shows an incredible lack of understanding of business
matters on your part.

 > I want to explain some things.

          What difference will "explaining" anything, make to the contents of
the contract.  Are your explanations legally binding in a court of law?

          This has been promised to me ever since I joined the team and yet
NOTHING has happened.  No released version has gone out with our details in
it, even after we have satisfied EVERY one of George's initial demands.

          I have agreed that I will continue to market and support TERMINATE
in Finland, but I will do it without a contract and without exclusivity.  If I
cannot be trusted to do that then you are forced to find someone else, but if
this particular contract is the only one you are offering, you are going to
do a LOT of damage to your own reputation and product wellbeing.

 > 2. Why the contracts must be made with a human person.

 > I want a single person to be responsible if anything goes
 > wrong in a country.

          The contract makes these people personally liable for any and all
debts incurred, even the debts were not their own fault.  Take a simple
example:
 I order 50000 keys for sale to a modem manufacturer here in Finland, the
labels
get lost in the post and were not fully insured.  I will owe you 50000 pounds
with no recourse but to pay it from my own pocket.  Do you seriously expect
ANYONE to take that sort of risk?

 > If for example a company is sold to someone else or the

          What if Intershop is sold or decides not to support TERMINATE any
longer?

 > Giving us a bad reputation. If one person is in charge he/
 > she is of course free to do whatever he likes with
 > partners, but he is still responsible in the end.

          As I said in an earlier message, why then is Intershop involved?
Why not make it a PERSONAL contract with George Collins?  let's have a balanced
contract in both directions.

 > The invoices can be made to who you want it.

          Do you know of ANY other organisation which operates distribution
in this manner?  Most "sensible" operations want to work with companies simply
because if there are problems, the assets of the company are backing for any
problems which may arise.  Sure a company can go bust, but people die.

 > 3. Product definition. If you read distribution rights. If

          Firstly the contract is NOT an exclusive deal.  If we are only
required to seel TERMINATE, then define it in the contract.  My extension was
that Product Definition was those products distributed by Intershop and agreed
to be distributed by the regsite.  What's wrong with that?  I am not going to
agree to sell any and all products which Intershop say I must sell.

          Look Bo, I don't give a toss what YOU think the contract means, I
don't give a toss what I think the contract means.  What is important is WHAT
THE CONTRACT STATES and what my lawyer (and other people's lawyers) say the
contract MEANS.

          So why can't the regsite drop the contract as well? There is NOTHING
in the contract about the distributor stopping the contract and a FIVE year
secrecyt clause is ludicrous.  You may also find it is unlawful in many
countries.

 > Bottom line of this is that it is only a contract and the
 > only thing you could ever loose in my opinion is the right
 > to sell Terminate.

          That just about sums it all up and this makes me VERY worried about
YOUR future.  Terms like "it's only a contract" will get you in court with
everything you ever owned being taken by someone else.

          If the right to seel TERMINATE is the ONLY right we will ever lose,
then please put that in the contract in writing.

          The term "in my opinion" is one of the most dangerous things you
have EVER said.  Bo, don't have an opinion, you are not clever enough or
experienced enough to have one.  When you get a little older and a LOT wiser
perhaps you will learn to say, "I don't have an opinion, but my lawyer does."

 > So there is nothing really to be affraid
 > of, and what are the chances of a conflict anyway.

          If there are no chances of conflict then why do we need a contract?

 > The only thing that could bring you to court is if you
 > suddenly dissappear owing a large sum of money and does not
 > pay.

          If that is the only thing then please put that clause IN THE CONTRACT.
 When you discuss that with your lawyer, you will become a LOT wiser.

 > But since you are paying almost every month or so, you
 > would not owe so much money that it was worth taking anyone
 > to court. So the only ones that should fear this must be
 > the ones that are not sure that they can continue selling
 > Terminate in the future.

          Your attitude in this matter is nieve in the extreme. Bo, get a
lawyer, get a good one and talk to him.  You are MUCH too young and MUCH too
inexperienced to understand just what it is that you are getting into in these
matters.  You are heading for a VERY big fall if you are not very careful and it
makes me very, very sad to see someone like yourself take this direction.
It's all so avoidable if you just take a little advice from the right people.

 > But that was only my comments, and please if you have any
 > suggestions or questions please call the number on top of
 > the contract.

          This is cc:ed to George and some of the other members of TEAM
TERMINATE.

          Please let me know my status as regards REGSITES.TER as soon as you
have read this.

          The previous messages I sent to you as "Personal and Confidential"
were obviously disscused with George.  You had absolutely NO right to do that
and once confidentiality has been breached, it cannot be repaired.

          I have told you in the past that I do not trust George, the future
will tell if that is true or not, but talk to a COMPETANT lawyer about this
contract and then ask him if the person who wrote it can be trusted.  Don't
take my word for it, take the advice of experts.


                                                   Cheers,

George & Bo,
            Here is the latest version of FINLAND.REG and as you can see, we
are now accepting credit cards.

          Just to repeat what I have stated before:

1)  We are willing to continue the promotion of TERMINATE in Finland, it's
sales and support.

2)  I will NOT sign a personal contract with Intershop Ltd unless my personal
liabilities are defined in the contract and are strictly limited.  I think
you will find that this is the same situation with the vast majority of the
other registration sites.

3)  I will continue taking registrations for TERMINATE until informed to stop
by either Bo or a representative of Intershop Ltd.

4)  We will activate full support, once again, as soon as contact is
re-established via REGSITES.TER  Please NetMail me if this contact is
re-established.

5)  If I am replaced as the Finnish regsite then you will ensure that every
single regsite is informed that the Finnish translations, as made by us, must
be removed from circulation. This is to apply immediately I am withdrawn or
replaced as regsite, unless otherwise informed, in writing, by me.  This will
be revoked if a satisfactory financial arrangement can be made. We will take
legal measures against any person or company who violates our copyright.

New FINLAND.REG is attached.

Hello George!

I hired this lawyer friend of mine today. He will now handle all my
money-affairs in the future. He is looking into my affairs and will handle
the move to London. It will be done very shortly, so don't worry about this. We
are talking around 1-2 month max.

After I move I am not liable for paying taxes 4 years to Denmark. That is not
a problem. I can earn any amount of money without paying taxes unless I bring
the money into UK. I will talk with the lawyer about these things at some
time and how I want my future to be.

 I'm not too sure what you mean.

If you are talking about the contract with Intershop Ltd and you then
we shook hands on that and I have already gone to a LOT of expense and
commitment on Sark - about °11,000 worth...

If you are talking about the contract between Intershop Ltd and the
REGsites then I would like to see things put on a businesslike basis
at the same time that 1.5 is launched - remember that it is still my
intention to hire a PR person to be the public face of the Publisher.

Please be kind enough to give me a ring on Sark tomorrow when you have
time to explain your feelings - this is rather worrying...

 When you asked me in September if I could give a 2 year commitment to
 Terminate, I told you I could not - but I would commit to six months.

At Darmstadt I was persuaded to continue as Publisher until 5 June 1994
and this I will try to do.

I think you understood that I wanted to get on with my life, find a
wife and start a family. I told you last month in Copenhagen that
Terminate could be making MILLIONS not thousands if it had a full-time
professional publishing team and I had plans to hire the appropriate
personnel to work for Intershop Ltd - financed by the increased sales.

What we AGREED then would also have been the most secure PRACTICAL tax
avoidance scheme that my brain could devise - but that is really a
bonus since with a professional publisher and publicist there would be a
much bigger cake to divide.

You may laugh at my funny old-fashioned ideas of honour and think they
are a game. A quick look at Ireland or Palestine would show you that
notions of betrayal and injustice are very deep and important with
some people and you ignore these at your peril...

What we agreed and shook hands on would have ensured that you had a
full-time and committed publishing team - whatever inferior
arrangements you conclude with your London Lawyer will not address
that issue.

You have every right to decide what is best for yourself (and also
Terminate). But I have the right to expect to be told your decisions
and reasons when you are reneging on agreements that totally affect my
lifestyle and career choices. I would not have undertaken the Sark
domicile (with driving tests, meetings with the Vicar and Seigneur)
and all the rest if I was just going to operate T-Regs - since this
could have been handled from Glasgow.

My personal credibility and reputation is important to me and I can
not continue to reassure TEAM TERMINATE players and other authors that
they have a sound financial future under these new circumstances. I am
NOT going to be put at risk of breaking my word to others because you
break your word to me. If we have not clarified the situation in 48
hours then I must issue a statement explaining that Intershop Ltd are
withdrawing from the publishing business and recommending interested
parties to contact you directly.

We would also need to agree a suitable statement to be published on
T-Day or 4 June 1994, whichever is the earliest.

You previously agreed that I could operate T-REGS for the next two
years, and I bought equipment and hired two employees on this basis.
Do you intend to break this agreement as well?

 BB>

No.
1) I explained to you the severe insecurity of Cell 'phones - use the
land line - I will not record you on 041-*** ****
2) I am surprised that you feel morally able to break agreements at
whim without the courtesy of an adequate explanation of necessity. Do
you wish me to behave in the same way? Not a rhetorical question,
Bo...

If you really find it necessary to renege on your agreements and
feel unable to explain why on the telephone, then there is a daily
flight from Copenhagen to Glasgow...

PS: Your Lawyer has NOT 'phoned me.

==================================

You have me totally baffled Bo!

Did you just send me a 100K file because it had a similar name to a
BBS **********?

Or is there something I have missed? Please advise and clarify by
return so that I can concentrate on something else (I hate mysteries:
ALMANAC.ARJ is a Windows 3.0 diary application
ALMAC is the trading name of Europe's biggest named from some of the
letters in ALastair MCintyre...)

More importantly, I expect, your lawyer in London has still not
'phoned me.

I have however been talking to the Inland Revenue in London (not about
you by name, of course) and I am now even more worried by what I
understand from you that he proposes: as a tax avoidance scheme it simply
will not work if you maintain property in the UK which is available
for your use...

I really think it would be MUCH cheaper for you to pay to fly me and
you to London and the three of us discuss this with your Lawyer there
since you do not wish to discuss this on the telephone...

PS: I confirm that I have paid for a double hotel room each for you and
me at ONE BBSCON in Atlanta.

Hello, Bo, nice to see you here! This is what I faxed to you this

DENMARK



Dear Bo

RE:   Reassuring me

Thank you for saying yesterday that, unlike the deal with
Intershop Ltd, etc., you have no plans to renege on our T-
REGS agreement.

It would please me greatly if you could, today and before
lunch
1. write me a letter in the sort of terms as what follows
2. before you post the letter to me today Airmail, also fax
it to me on  +44 481 832651

"Dear George

I am sorry I felt I had to break our agreement about Intershop Ltd, etc.,
and that I did not ask you to agree to my breaking my word and just wrote
you a netmail instead. Although the important details were clearly
summarised before we shook hands when you were here in Albertslund last
month I had not really fully considered the implications and feel I was
rushed in to things.

This is a cultural difference: agreeing things verbally means little to
me. But when I sign something in writing (like this letter, for example)
I do mean to stick to my written word and I hope that this will re-assure
you enough to forgive my rudeness (it was due to a misunderstanding) and
continue operating T-Regs for a period of two years. I will
      a) update each new version of Terminate with the correct T-REGS
      details as advised by you during that time
      b) allow you to delegate the day to day running of T-REGS to any
      person you see fit (eg: Intershop Ltd) as long as they preserve
      secrecy and the security of the keyfile-making machinery
and in return you will continue to pay me °10 on demand for each keyfile
T_REGS generates.

Please note that this agreement about T-REGS is separate and distinct
from anything else we should agree or not agree about publishing, etc. I
am sorry if you feel I have messed your plans about and we will try and
resolve the other issues today or within the next week at the latest."

I am afraid your London lawyer has still not contacted me so
(and especially after speaking with UK Inland Revenue HQ in
London in general terms) I still think he is totally
misguided: it would be much cheaper if you paid for me and
you to fly to London and speak with him together in
confidence since you stand to lose millions if the Publisher
and Programmer does a good job and he doesn't...


Sincerely yours
Dr George Collins

Hello George!

I could not believe my eyes today with that fax you sent me ?

Here is what I will not hear from you again:

This "DO THIS TODAY or within 48 hours or ELSE!!!" does not work on me.
Do not write 'my' letters for me and ask me to fax it to you.
Do not write my contracts for me.

Instead write:

Here is my suggestions for a future agreement:
 1.
 2.

(Boy, does you remind me of Ron today...).

Any contract or agreement will be checked through this lawyer before I sign
anything in the future. That is actually why I hired him, so he can make sure
that I do not make mistakes.

I do not want my lawyer to discuss my personal affairs with anyone. When he
calls you, I expect that it will be shortly and that you keep to the point of
the inland revenue and the danish tax-system.

Keep in mind that we are not married.

Then you'd better open them.

I did not break my word to you.
You broke your word to me.

Where I come from that little word sorry is pretty important.


 BB> Here is what I will not hear from you again:

Wrong!
When you're out of order I'll tell you and I hope that won't be too
often.


 BB> This "DO THIS TODAY or within 48 hours or ELSE!!!" does not work on me.

You're really not reading too well today, Bo. I did not say "or ELSE!".
I said it "would please me greatly". If you really don't want to
please people but instead piss me off you're certainly going about it
the right way...


 BB> Do not write 'my' letters for me and ask me to fax it to you.

If you were a mensch we would not be in this situation where you can't
see that you just slapped me in the face.

What's the point in writing agreements that only one side will keep?


 BB> (Boy, does you remind me of Ron today...).

Maybe now I see what was bugging Ron. I could never understand why he
would not accept my word on things. Maybe he realised that my word did
not count in the final analysis because you would not behave honourably.

My word is very important to me and I can not do my job unless I have
confidence that I am not put in aposition where I have to break it
because you break your word to me without explanation or reason.


 BB> Any contract or agreement will be checked through this lawyer before I
 BB> sign
 BB> anything in the future. That is actually why I hired him, so he can make

Fine.

But remember it's sometimes a good idea to concentrate on making a
nice big fat cake before you argue about how many slices you get....

  BB> he

That's natural - but I can't see the point in taking things any
further. I said I would finish on 5 June 1994 but it might be better
if we finish today. What do you think?

Rubbish. I didn't know who he was since he refused to say.

And that's it Bo. I have better things to do with my life than indulge

call me - it's quicker and cheaper in the long run!

This whole problem began because you were too scared to 'phone me and

Hello George!

I am sure this will make you happy.

I talked with my lawyer today and will fly over to London in the next week.
When I see him I will first look at apartments and choose one.
Afterwards I arranged that I and my lawyer will make the actual contract for
T-Regs and the agent (or distribution contract or whatever it is called).
From you I need all the information and suggestions you have for these
contracts. You should write if you want it directly with you or Intershop.
You said something about having two contracts one for T-Regs and one for
publishing, write everything in a netmail and I will confirm I got it.
Make everything simple and in an easy language, so I don't have any problems
with understanding these things. When this is done you will be offered this
(or these) contracts. Please summerize all the prices and everything we agreed
on, since you know how bad I remember things. If there is anything I do not
understand I promise to call you and talk about it voice.

With simple I don't want long legal sentences, but I want things in this
style:
1. We agreed that Bo would get 10° for a keyfile generated on T-REGS.
2. We agreed that Bo would get 75p for every sold LITE copy.
3. We agreed that George would operate T-REGS for at least two years.
etc.
etc.

"I do mean to stick to my written word and I hope that this will re-assure
you enough to forgive my rudeness, which was coursed by a misunderstanding"

That should make your day without too much sweet-talk.

There is a fundamental misunderstanding here.

WE already made the contract between us for T-REGS. All that I am
asking you to do is re-assure me by writing the letter
(not auto-faxing a netmail)
I suggested (or modifying it appropriately).

It does need to have your real signature on the bottom, though.

None of this would ever have been necessary if you had not reneged on
the Publishing deal with Intershop Ltd. AFTER you have done this I
hope I will have the confidence to re-address the Publishing issues -
and the more you scream and wriggle and prevaricate about writing a
simple letter the MORE (not less) I distrust you.

Please note something I don't think I'll ever think differently about:
If you find it necessary to keep writing things out on paper with
someone, then either they have a lousy memory or you should try to
choose someone else to do business with.

The "Exclusive Distribution Contract" was written because that's what
some of the REGsites wanted. The "TERMINATE by Bo Bendtsen: Contract
of Sale" was written to show to the Tax authorities - the REAL
agreements we have already shaken hands on...

Now, we can talk about the latter (as you should have done before you
shook hands) and I PREFER you to get independent advice (as long as
it's good - that's why I suggested you talk to your father before...)
but one fundamental thing remains: write me that letter!

(and don't give me some bullshit about not breaking your word to your
lawyer - how do you think that makes me feel when it's OK to break
your word to me but not to your lawyer?)

 BB> With simple I don't want long legal sentences, but I want things in this
 BB> style:

No. Before this even happens we need to agree the principles.

And I think that should be done between the three of us: Me, You and
your Lawyer in London on Tuesday or it will simply be too late and too
expensive for you.

Then if you need it in writing, then your lawyer can do it (at °100 an
hour) - I don't need it as long as I feel I can trust you.

 BB> 1. We agreed that Bo would get 10° for a keyfile generated on T-REGS.

Correct.

 BB> 2. We agreed that Bo would get 75p for every sold LITE copy.

and for Plus, too.


 BB> 3. We agreed that George would operate T-REGS for at least two years.

Correct.

 BB> "I do mean to stick to my written word and I hope that this will
 BB> re-assure you
 BB> enough to forgive my rudeness, which was coursed by a misunderstanding"

Then send me the letter I asked for with a REAL signature on the
bottomn and we can move on to more productive things - BUT QUICKLY!

What contract...  we perhaps have an oral agreement, but that is not what I
understand with a contract. My understandment is that it is a piece of paper
with signatures. And everything will have to be written down in the future so
I do not forget the details. I will not send anything to anyone with my
signature before the lawyer has said ok. That is how things will happend in
the future.

 GC> Publishing issues - and the more you scream and wriggle and
 GC> prevaricate about writing a simple letter the MORE (not less) I
 GC> distrust you.

Well that too bad, you got my netmail where I said I am sorry about all this,
and now you are saying it was not good enough and you want more... Come on
George, my lawyer gave me this advice: Start looking at things commercially
and stop discussing unimportant things like that. You cannot claim that you are
not in somehow responsible for this situation. You admitted that you felt
surprised that I did not say anything. I never really liked doing it your way
and always wanted a second opinion anyway. But since you kept on telling me how
much I must work I perhaps forgot how important this was.

 GC> The "Exclusive Distribution Contract" was written because that's
 GC> what some of the REGsites wanted. The "TERMINATE by Bo Bendtsen:
 GC> Contract of Sale" was written to show to the Tax authorities - the
 GC> REAL agreements we have already shaken hands on...

These agreements will be written down on paper and signed by both of us, so
we are sure what was agreed.

 GC> Now, we can talk about the latter (as you should have done before
 GC> you shook hands) and I PREFER you to get independent advice (as
 GC> long as it's good - that's why I suggested you talk to your father
 GC> before...) but one fundamental thing remains: write me that
 GC> letter!

And you keep forgetting that this is not my fathers special. The other guy is
much much more into these things and have many years of experience.

 GC> (and don'[t give me some bullshit about not breaking your word to
 GC> your lawyer - how do you think that makes me feel when it's OK to
 GC> break your word to me but not to your lawyer?)

I am sorry but I cannot break my word to my lawyer at any time. You cannot
compare yourself to my lawyer because you are not the impartial party.
The better deal you make the more money you make.
He is payed by the hour and not on how much I am paying him. If things go
good for me and he does not rip me off they more contracts and things like
that I will bring him in the future.

 GC> And I think that should be done between the three of us: Me, You
 GC> and your Lawyer in London on Tuesday or it will simply be too late
 GC> and too expensive for you.

I am sorry, but you are not going to meet my lawyer at this time, this is
personal and he and I does not want anyone to be present while we talk about
my future.

 GC> Then if you need it in writing, then your lawyer can do it (at
 GC> °100 an hour) - I don't need it as long as I feel I can trust you.

Yes George we need it in written. BTW he is more expensive than what you are
taking a wild guess at, but in the end he will save me much trouble.

 BB>> 1. We agreed that Bo would get 10° for a keyfile generated on
 BB>> T-REGS.

 GC> Correct.

 BB>> 2. We agreed that Bo would get 75p for every sold LITE copy.

 GC>  and for Plus, too.

You have to explain me this as well. I cannot understand how you could have
talked me into this with the PLUS version and I cannot remember your
arguments for this.

 GC> Then send me the letter I asked for with a REAL signature on the
 GC> bottomn and we can move on to more productive things - BUT
 GC> QUICKLY!

Sorry, when people demand things from me, they rarely get anything.

If that's your final word and you refuse to heed your own advice
about sorting things out voice then it only remains for us to agree a
joint statement.

Failing that agreed joint statement I will simply make a unilateral
announcement.

You really can not expect to behave in this unethical and rotten way
and expect me to tolerate it.

Except for the latter (what moral principles?)

AGREED AND UNDERSTOOD !

But right now you have to get this through your thick skull:

1. You have made me very angry by reneging on one (possibly two) deals

2. Nothing else will happen the way you want it until you have
re-assured me about T-REGS. Unusually I will agree to re-negotiate
anything else by PRETENDING that you were weak and stupid when I
talked to you in Albertslund (you weren't) But why should I waste any more
of my life negotiating things you will not stick too?

3. A deal is a deal with me and is sacred whether it is oral, written
on paper or in blood. And if we can't see some way round this then you
will just have to find someone else to play silly buggers with.

So you choose: keep your word to your Lawyer or keep your word to me.

I closed T-REGS two days afterwards (and since 23 May 1994 T-REGS has
remained closed with a notice saying simply:

"T-REGS is closed until further notice")

since I have not had the letter that I requested from you
confirming the deal with T-REGS.
It is very difficult to hire good and reliable staff if I can NOT
reassure them as to how long the job will last and, in any case
they need a period of some days training.

It really is very silly of you not to write a simple letter!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
We here at TeleGrafix know that everybody is anxiously waiting for
RIPscrip 2.0.  People have been concerned about their older artwork
being compatible with the new version.  We have put a lot of effort
into making 2.0 as backwards compatible as possible.  Overall, the
language is nearly 100% compatible with older 1.x RIPscrip files.
There is one exception however.  2.0 will not have a "fill"
command like its earlier 1.54 versions had.  There will still be
filled objects like filled circles, rectangles, etc.  There will
not be a so-called "flood fill" command.  There are a lot of
reasons behind this, the most critical reason is that a fill at
one resolution may not work properly at another.  Also, fills work
differently under MS Windows, OS/2, Macintosh, Amiga and DOS.  With
all of the complexities involved, having a reliable fill operation
cannot be achieved under multiple resolutions and platforms.

With this in mind, we are giving everybody some "advanced warning"
about the removal of this command from RIPscrip.  Those of you who
use this command in your artwork should be forewarned that your
scenes using this command will need to be modified to appear
properly under 2.0.

We apologize for the removal of this command.  It has been
necessary though to get 2.0 out the door.

I have decided to end our business relationship.
You know I get to the point directly and hope that we can get, what you
normally call a peacefull divorce.
Please send me your suggestion for a peacefull ending of our
business relationship.

I will not enter into any discussion about my decision. So do not call me
voice about this. Use fax for all correspondence in the future.

BO, PLEASE TELEPHONE ME TO agree A JOINT STATEMENT.
MY PREFERENCE IS FOR AN AGREED TRUTHFUL STATEMENT, BUT, SINCE
SILENCE IS NO LONGER AN OPTION, THE ALTERNATIVE TO AGREEING
A JOINT STATEMENT IS THAT I HAVE MADE ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE
EXPLANATORY TEXT OF MY LETTERS TO BE RELEASED VIA THE INTERNET
ON 10 JUNE 1994.

------------------- CUT

George I told you that we are not equal when talking over the phone.
We are almost equal when talking via fax or netmail.
Stop telling anyone confidential information! I cannot see why you are
doing this, it won't get you anywhere with me.
Silence is not an option it is something you have promised me many times!
Nobody told you to share confidential information between you and me.
Nobody other than us are involved in this.
Is this normal that you share information in public conferences when you
do not get things your way ? There will be no discussion voice between you
and me.

Please fax me with your proposal for a joint statement.

recipients in that conference. Please would ALL members of TEAM
TERMINATE reply 1) with an acknowledgement that they have received it
                2) with their Internet address so that I can bring
                them up to date. My address: george.collins@almac.co.uk
----------
This is stupid George, I thought you were smart enough to figure out that I
could not disconnect anyone since I was in UK until sunday night.
----------
It is too painful to me to ring up every REGsite and give them
the full truth but I will endeavour to draft something
diplomatic and post it here if Bo will give permission since I
am caught between two duties here: a duty of confidentiality to
Bo and a duty of disclosure to the other players. If ALL the
players had signed the non-disclosure clause then I could have
posted an announcement here.
-----------------
You are not allowed to tell anyone anything about our relationship.
And NO you certainly not have any duty of informing the other players about
our relationship.

I suggest you keep quiet until we have settled an agreement. I cannot see
what good it would do you (other than personal satisfaction) to waste money on
international calls.

I am still waiting for your suggestion on how we end our relationship.

$$$Bo does not like to make agreements that he must keep.
$$$
$$$That is why he never likes third parties to be present as
$$$witnesses, or for agreements to be written down or discussed by 'phone
$$$since it is then difficult to repudiate them. He also knows that
$$$faxes are not accepted as evidence by most courts.

$$$That concludes some extracts from netmails.
$$$
$$$There now follows a small sequence of selected messages taken from
$$$the Private administrative echomail area for Terminate REGsites
$$$which may hint to you that, nevertheless there are more than 23 potential
$$$witnesses that Bo Bendtsen HAS indeed heard of Intershop Ltd if we can
$$$ever succeeed in tracking Bo Bendtsen down and bringing him to justice:

Hello All!

VERY CONFIDENTIAL

I allready told some of you, but I have currently some plans about taking in
two guys to run DAN BBS, so I will have more time for Terminate.

In the process of this a lot of company stuff will take place and I have to
form a new company here in Danmark. In the process of this

1.  DAN BBS will be turned into an ApS (Anpartsselskab)
2.  I will have to open a new company

I will own most of the DAN BBS ApS and of course a 100% of my personal
company.

All the next weeks/months changes is done to make me more free to program
faster and not to have too many responsibilities other places.

I am thinking of a new name for my personal company...

The best I could come up with yet is:

WizCom

I could mean   Wizard Communications..  but also WISE communication...
Double meanings are best.

Any suggestions or your comment is needed now ?

Hello All!

Basicly nothing changes with this contract. It is made mostly because we want
it to be more commercially and that a lot of you asked for something more
formal.

I want to explain some things.

1. The reason that a registration site cannot stop being a regsite at once!

Since your name will be in the released version of Terminate, you would
continue
to receive registrations for a very long period giving the rest of the team
problems. But why should anyone want to stop anyway if they are making money
on Terminate. This is a decision you must take, because you cannot only be a
registration site for 2-3 month and then say, well i don't earn enough money
and want to stop, forcing us to release a new version. Hope you can see the
problem with that.

2. Why the contracts must be made with a human person.

I want a single person to be responsible if anything goes wrong in a country.
If for example a company is sold to someone else or the shares are sold and
suddenly the company does not give any support, then all the other
registration sites again will have to do his/her job and handle all his/her
problems. Giving us a bad reputation. If one person is in charge he/she is of
course free to do whatever he likes with partners, but he is still
responsible in the end.

This is not only something that I want because it then is easier to get the
money that the person owes, but also i safety feature to ensure YOU and the
other registration sites that someone just sells the right to be a
distributor to someone else that might not is able of handling the job. The
invoices can be made to who you want it.

3. Product definition. If you read distribution rights. If you got the
feeling that you were forced to sell anything else than Terminate, how could
anyone give exclusive deals to someone for products.

4. Termination. Of course the publisher must be able of removing any
registration site that is not supporting the product as expected of the rest
of the Team. If a distributor fails to sell the product correctly, we all
have to sort out his/her problem.

Bottom line of this is that it is only a contract and the only thing you
could ever loose in my opinion is the right to sell Terminate. So there is
nothing really to be affraid of, and what are the chances of a conflict
anyway.
The only thing that could bring you to court is if you suddenly dissappear
owing a large sum of money and does not pay. But since you are paying almost
every month or so, you would not owe so much money that it was worth taking
anyone to court. So the only ones that should fear this must be the ones that
are not sure that they can continue selling Terminate in the future.
But that was only my comments, and please if you have any suggestions or
questions please call the number on top of the contract.

 DK> i would like to get some more information about intershop ltd. because i
 DK> am unhappy doing business with a company i do not know.

Intershop Ltd is registered at Companies House in Edinburgh.
The registered number is on the bottom of the letter.

Any good company enquiry agent should (for a fee) be able to
provide you with details.

I am currently the General Manager of Intershop Ltd but am
neither a Director nor a shareholder of Intershop Ltd.

I think the most important thing that you should know about
Intershop Ltd is that it is currently able to sell you
Terminate, ********, *******l and ******* (grin).

If and when you sign the contract you will see that you have
the legal right to FULL disclosure (grin)...

 DK> in addition to that i would suggest that a choosen team terminate member

 DK> (= a registration site) should represent our (= the regsites)
 DK> interests in this
 DK> company in any form that seems to be apropriate.
 DK>
 DK> any comments on this?

I've discussed this with all the shareholders and officers of
Intershop Ltd and they would welcome the appointment of an
unpaid director from the ranks of TEAM TERMINATE.

Whoever is selected should be aware that a director of a
Scottish company is legally responsible for that company
trading properly and legally and is subject to criminal
sanctions if things go wrong.

As the TEAM TERMINATE player with most seniority and most sales
I hereby nominate YOU, diddi.

Any other nominations?

I am sorry that the first contract was not to certain players
liking. I can only apologise and offer by way of explanation:

1) My computer crashed half way through preparation and I lost
   nine hours and did not finish until the early hours.

2) I think Britons are culturally incapable of making explicit
   what they assume is understood and obvious to all.

After talking to many of you voice I hope that this revised
contract will be acceptable to all. If it is NOT then please
call me voice on Sark (0481)832650 OR Radio Phone (0850)748376
to discuss what amendments you MUST have. Please do NOT waste
your time and mine by discussing this by e-mail or Fax - time
is much too short for that now!

This sample contract was intended for ******** in EIRE-GB. The
people listed below who have not yet signed or who would prefer
this new contract should IMMEDIATELY:

1) Replace ********'s name and address with their own.
2) Revise the Geographical Territory appropriately

                     EXCLUSIVE DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT

This exclusive distributor agreement is made and entered into by and
between Intershop Limited, a limited liability private company
incorporated under the laws of Scotland having a normal place of
business on the Isle of Sark, hereinafter called the Publisher and
******** Mc******, a natural individual residing at 141 Bo'ness
Road, Grangemouth, Stirlingshire FK3  9BS in the Kingdom of
Scotland, hereinafter called the Distributor.
In consideration of the Distributor using his best efforts to
promote the sales and reputation of the Publishers products and the
mutual promises contained herein, the parties agree as follows:

1.   PRODUCT DEFINITION: All products offered for distribution by the
     Publisher and accepted for distribution by the Distributor.

2.   DURATION OF THE CONTRACT: The terms and agreement found in this contract
     shall be in effect for fifteen years starting from the date of the
     signing of the contract.

3.   DISTRIBUTION RIGHTS: Publisher grants the exclusive distribution rights
     for the products listed in Item #1 to Distributor. These rights will be
     in effect for the duration set forth in Item #2 and applicable in the
     geographical areas set forth in Addendum #1.

     When the Publisher receives retail enquiries from end users evidently
     resident in the Distributors territory by voice, fax, telex or post,
     such enquirers will be given the Distributors contact details.

     If, in the Publishers opinion, a sale would not otherwise be made, the
     Publisher reserves the right to service such enquiries from end users
     evidently resident in the Distributors territory as they see fit in
     order to diminish lost sales opportunities. In addition, Publisher does
     not agree not to sell directly to any person within said area, but does
     agree that, if such sales are made, they will be at normal United
     Kingdom retail (and NOT wholesale) prices and not discounted for volume
     or carriage.

4.   PRICING: The agreed pricing for all products subject to this contract
     are listed in Addendum #2. Distributor is responsible for all shipping,
     handling and production costs.

5.   PAYMENT: Payment will become due on receipt of invoice. Publisher
     reserves the right not to ship new orders until previous invoices have
     been settled in full.

6.   SHIPMENT OF ORDERS:
     A. Purchase Orders - Distributor shall order Products by submitting
     orders to the Publisher in conformance with the instructions contained
     in the latest edition of the "TEAM TERMINATE Operations Manual". This
     "TEAM TERMINATE Operations Manual" will be amended and issued by the
     Publisher at frequent intervals. In the event the terms of the purchase
     order are in conflict with the terms of this Agreement, the terms of
     this Agreement shall be deemed to prevail.
     B. Delivery - Delivery will be made F.O.B. Publishers premises. Title
     and risk of loss shall pass to Distributor upon delivery. Distributor
     will be responsible for all transportation and insurance charges.
     Publisher will, however, unless otherwise directed in writing by the
     Distributor, prepay transit insurance and freight and bill Distributor
     therefore. Distributor may designate a specific carrier on its' Purchase
     Order. Publisher reserves the right to choose an alternate carrier if
     shipments are not collected within forty eight (48) hours after
     notification. Publisher shall not be liable for any delay in delivery or
     performance of services due to causes beyond the reasonable control of
     the Publisher. Publisher will comply with all reasonable instructions of
     the Distributor. Standard packaging will be used unless Distributor
     specifies otherwise in its' purchase order, and agrees to pay any extra
     charges incurred as a result of the specified method of packaging.

7.   DISCLOSURE: It is explicitly agreed that, in order to protect both the
     Publishers and the Distributors reputation and profits, both parties to
     this agreement will keep the other fully and promptly informed of any
     relevant developments or information and this on a confidential and
     privileged basis where time is of the essence. Publisher agrees to
     provide and maintain a private and secret electronic conferencing system
     for the mutual dissemination of information and the discussion of issues
     of mutual concern.
     This conferencing system will be open only to national distributors of
     the Publishers products. It is explicitly agreed that any notice
     required to be given by the terms of this agreement may be given instead
     in this conferencing system. Technical details of access to this
     conferencing system will be provided in the latest edition of the "TEAM
     TERMINATE Operations Manual" which will be amended and issued by the
     Publisher at frequent intervals.

8.   CONFIDENTIALITY:
     A.  Distributor agrees that the entire contents of each and every
     edition of the "TEAM TERMINATE Operations Manual" is the confidential
     and proprietary information of The Publisher. Distributor shall not
     directly, or indirectly disclose any details contained therein or
     provide any access to the "TEAM TERMINATE Operations Manual" to any
     third party. Distributor specifically agrees to use and store each and
     every edition of the "TEAM TERMINATE Operations Manual" in a manner so
     as to prevent unauthorized viewing and access.
     B.  Distributor acknowledges and agrees that any unauthorised disclosure
     by Distributor of any proprietary information obtained from The
     Publisher is a material incurable breach of this Agreement.
     C.  Distributor acknowledges and agrees that a breach of this Section of
     the  agreement shall cause substantial and irreparable harm to The
     Publisher and that The Publisher will take any and all legal or
     equitable options available to The Publisher including pursuing punitive
     and criminal remedies.
     D.  The confidentiality provisions of this Agreement shall survive any
     termination of this Agreement and shall remain in full force and effect
     for a period of five years after the date of termination of this
     agreement.

9.   Representations and Warranties of The Publisher:
     A.  The Publisher is making the Products available 'AS IS' and
     accordingly MAKES NO WARRANTIES WHATSOEVER, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WHETHER
     ORAL OR WRITTEN, WITH RESPECT TO THE PRODUCTS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
     TO ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES
          i)   OF MERCHANTABILITY,
          ii)  OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR
          iii) ARISING FROM USAGE OF TRADE OR COURSE OF DEALING OR
               PERFORMANCE.
     B.  The Publisher SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT,
     TORT (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION NEGLIGENCE), WARRANTY OR ON ANY OTHER
     LEGAL OR EQUITABLE GROUNDS, FOR ANY LOSS OF USE, PROFIT OR REVENUE BY
     THE OTHER PARTY, OR FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT,
     SPECIAL, PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES SUFFERED BY THE OTHER PARTY,
     ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, EVEN IF SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN
     ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LOSSES OR DAMAGES.
     C.  The Publisher gives an undertaking to use their best efforts to
     procure and develop suitable products for distribution during the term
     of this agreement.

10.  TERMINATION: If, in the sole opinion of the Publisher, there has been
     any  breach of this agreement by the Distributor, including but not
     limited to the failure of the Distributor to use his best efforts to
     promote the sales and reputation of the Publishers products, then the
     Publisher may suspend or terminate this agreement forthwith. The
     Publisher may also suspend or terminate this agreement forthwith if the
     Distributor has not complied with the rules and procedures outlined in
     the "TEAM TERMINATE Operations Manual".
     This agreement may also be terminated by:
     a) the Distributor giving 90 days notice of termination
     b) the Publisher giving 90 days notice of termination
     c) mutual agreement.

11.  MISCELLANEOUS:
     A.  Notices. Any legal notice, request, authorisation, direction or
     other communication under this Agreement may be given in writing and be
     delivered in person OR by first-class post (or overseas equivalent),
     properly addressed and stamped with the required postage, to the
     intended recipient at the addresses listed above OR in the electronic
     conferencing system maintained by the Publisher and referred to above.
     Either party may change their address specified above by giving the
     other party notice of such in accordance with this Section.
     B.  Nonwaiver. The failure of the Publisher to insist upon or enforce
     strict performance by the other party of any provision of this Agreement
     or to exercise any right under this Agreement shall not be construed as
     a waiver or relinquishment to any extent of the Publishers right to
     assert or rely  upon any such provision or right in that or any other
     instance; rather, the same shall be and remain in full force and effect.
     C.  Entire Agreement.  Each Party acknowledges that it has read this
     Agreement, including the two addenda hereto, understands it, and agrees
     to be bound by its terms and further agrees that it is the complete and
     exclusive statement of the agreement between the Parties relating to the
     subject of this Agreement, which supersedes and merges all prior
     agreements, oral and written between the Parties relating to the subject
     of this Agreement. This Agreement may not be modified, altered or
     amended except by a written instrument duly executed by both Parties.
     D.  Amendment.  No change, amendment or modification of any provision of
     this Agreement shall be valid unless set forth in a written instrument
     signed by the party to be bound thereby.
     E.  Invalid Provision. The invalidity or unenforceability of any
     provision of this Agreement shall not affect the other provisions
     hereof, and this Agreement shall be construed in all respects as if such
     invalid or unenforceable provisions were omitted.
     F.  Assignment. Distributor may not assign or transfer any of
     Distributor's rights, privileges or obligations hereunder except with
     the written agreement of the Publisher.
     G.  Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be interpreted, construed and
     enforced in accordance with the laws of Scotland and Distributor agrees
     and consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of the appropriate Scots
     Court.
     H.  No Partnership. This Agreement shall not be interpreted or construed
     to create an association, joint venture or partnership between the
     parties or to impose any partnership obligation or liability upon either
     party and each party shall bear all costs and expenses incurred by it
     under or in connection with this Agreement.
     I.  Implementation. Each party shall take such action (including, but
     not limited to, the execution acknowledgment and delivery of documents)
     as may  reasonably be requested by the other party for the
     implementation or continuing performance of this Agreement.

Hello Dietmar!

I would like very much if you could do this job. Would you care calling
George and arrange something. I think that since you currently are the
biggest registration site it is important that you helping out here.

Slight misunderstanding I think here, diddi: I got your fax at
about 02:00hrs Sunday morning (it woke me up - the `Factory' on
Sark is not enormous - two rooms, kitchen/diner and bathroom...)
and since it seemed important to try and satisfy the points you
raised I then continued calling all numbers (including your
mobile) until I eventually reached you...

Selwyn was just doing me a favour by passing on the message here
since I was on the move myself...Thanks again Selwyn!

PS: I do need to receive that faxed contract from you and
    everyone else today before I meet with the Directors of
    Intershop Ltd tomorrow:
    Fax number is +44 481 832651
    Voice number is +44 481 832650 which you should always
    try BEFORE you attempt my radio 'phone number on
    +44 850 748376

Hello, beautiful people!

Is there any kind of war (both phisical or psychic) in act
between the members of TEAM TERMINATE?

No messages posted, no news.... NOTHING!

If you're all alive and in good health, please say something!

Hello All!

Only for persons with access to REGSITES.TER

I will move to London shortly, I have already selected the place I want
to live and have made the appropriate arrangements.

George informed that he will stop publishing at June 5.
Therefore from June 6. I'll manage again.

I plan to remain as publisher at all times and whenever everything is settled
I plan to hire a world wide agent, who will be the person that will handling
the day to day (New regsites, handle problems etc, publisity).

This new agent will be appointed solely by me.

I have hired a danish lawyer, who also lives in London, who will represent
me in any legal and economic matters in the future.

Bo Bendtsen

I hope that you have a happy life there and things go well for
you, Bo. Not that you deserve it - grin.

 BB> George informed that he will stop publishing at June 5.

Yes, I made it clear in Darmstadt that I would not continue as
Publisher beyond the 5 June 1994

I still would like a reply to the points I raised in my letters
- especially my faxed letter of 26 May 1994 - before I leave for
my eye operation tomorrow (tuesday) evening.

As long as you address the issues contained in that
correspondence, I will be content.

 BB> Therefore from June 6. I'll manage again.

Let's be precise about this Bo:
Currently my resignation is effective 23:59hrs 4 June 1994.
I have not had any adequate reply to faxes and 'phone calls
since 20 May 1994 and if this situation continues I can do
nothing in the interim except refer callers to yourself:

What contact details do you want me to give to people for you,
the Publisher, from 5 June 1994?

A warning that I hope you will never have cause to remember:

Lawyers are good at arguing who get's how big a slice of the
cake (usually the Lawyer gets the big slice - grin) but pretty
lousy at making the cake get bigger...
