DT> Write them a nice email message and ask them to either to send what you
DT> purchased, or to send the money order back to you via registered mail.
DT> Alternately, you can always tell your Postmaster about the problem and have
DT> U.S. Post Office do an investigation. It is fraudulent for a company to ta
DT> people's money and not give you the product that you are buying, according
DT> federal law. Up to you whether you want to pursue that avenue of course.
DT> it is a definitely good idea to use credit cards for such purpose if I rec

DT> At any rate, why bother registering Lord II anyway one might say since that

DT> At least with Wildcat Tournament Lord, you know in advance that the author
DT> can't do new versions of it due to his (Marcelletti) having lost the source
DT> code in three or more hard drive crashes. That dude had MAJOR common-sense
DT> problems not ever having done backups of his stuff in some fashion - either
DT> tape drive cartridge, floppy disks, iomega zip disks, cd-roms, etc.

DT> I wonder how many other programmers out there have lost programs in hard dr
