My name is Jack W. Hildenbrand, author of fastmenu GOLD, a GUI
menuing system.  On July 17, 1991, I was contacted by a party
of Paul Achuff, dba Software Resources.  The purpose of the call
was to approach me to take fastmenu GOLD commercial.  Shortly
thereafter, after many phone calls and promises, I signed a
publishing contract with Paul Achuff and Steve Browning, dba
Sof Net International, N 9308 Royal Drive, Spokane, Washington
99208.

This contract was signed under pressure about 4:30 one evening by
fax under the extreme urgency of Sof Net due to a contract with
Sears for 20,000 copies early the next morning, and then with the
potential of a sale of 40,000 copies to Sears before the end of
the year.  It was found out later that this meeting never took
place and was never scheduled to take place.

Well, you guessed it, with big $$$ signs in my eyes, I signed the
contract and from there on out it was a total disaster.  As a
result of several violations on their part, the contract was made
null and void by my attorney.  But as you may well guess, this
has not been the end of it.

This man has continued to try to market and sell a commercial
version "fastmenu GOLD 5.0" and has contacted several of my
shareware marketing avenues causing some conflicts.

The following is a description of the company name changes in the
last six months:
                    (1) Software Resources
                    (2) Sof Net International
                    (3) Sof Net International LTD
                    (4) Soft NET International LTD
                    (5) COE Software International Limited

This company has had 3 different phone number changes, and if you
should call Spokane information for Paul Achuff or any of the
above companies, you will find there is no listing.  The Spokane
Chamber of Commerce, the Spokane Better Business Bureau, the
Spokane Licensing Dept. and the Spokane Internal Revenue has no
knowledge of any such business existing in Spokane at all or any
other business existing at their given address.  All business
dealings and contracts were with Paul E. Achuff and I have found
since that he now goes by Paul Lee Achuff.

This entire matter has been taken to the FBI for consideration
and we are presently awaiting their reply.  If they do not pursue
this matter, it will then be taken to civil court by our
attorney.
If you or anyone you know has had any dealings with this company
or party and are willing to give us any information at all, it
would be greatly appreciated.  I can be contacted through my BBS
(fastbytes BBS) 419-588-3615 by leaving a private message to the
Sysop.

Thank you,,,,,,Jack W. Hildenbrand
