TTG appears uninterested either in (a) attempting such an enterprise (which
admittedly would be risky) or in (b) getting money from passing over the
pseudocode (etc.) to others who would be willing to take this risk.
Perhaps it's merely my sad lack of an MBA that makes the combination of (a)
and (b) seem one of the more inscrutable examples of American business
practice.

That's right. You'd be on the point of releasing *Smart Words*. Mr Frank,
what's the release date for XyWrite-5-with-a-silly-name--this month or
next? How much is it? Which of my three Visa cards--from Asahi, Lloyds,
and (first national) Citi banks--do you most fancy?
