    Dear Sandra,
    
    Please find on this disk an AMOS program called PALET.  It is all
    ready to click and run.  I know that Palette Programs are
    two-a-penny, but I am quite pleased with the particular combination
    of features in this one, and it is designed to be easy to include in
    other programs.
    
    I am sending it in the vain hope that you may like it, and may even
    be able to find a suitable niche for it in a future APD disk.   I
    have seen no APD disks, and don't know how many or what kind of
    Palette Programs are there already.  If this one has nothing extra to
    add, or if you don't think it is of the required standards in
    performance or robustness, then just throw it away.  I have found it
    quite useful since I wrote it, and other AMOS users may do the same.
    (If I get a disk in exchange - if only for the effort - how about
    starting from the top: APD1, please.)

    
    Since Australia is nearer to NZ than to UK, I suppose I should have
    sent this to Pactronics Pty Ltd., but have been unable to find their
    address.

    
    An unrelated matter, and a suggestion:

    Your General Info. (p.43 of AMOS Extras Manual) states that payments
    from abroad must be made in GBP by International Money Order or
    Postal Giro.  No other currencies.  No credit card payments.
    
    Now "Postal Giro" is a quite meaningless expression to anyone not
    living in the UK.

    International Money Orders involve significant charges.  I rashly
    used one a couple of years ago. It cost me $8.75 to send $10 dollars.

    I now make all my overseas purchases with a Visa card.  It is a
    straightforward condition - if they don't accept Visa, I take my
    business elsewhere.  It is very unusual to find anyone not willing to
    accept payment by that method, and in fact yours is the only such
    business I know of at the moment. 

    Any chance of your changing the rules a bit?
    
             Best wishes,
    
                             John Collett
