Dear Alexander,

I hope this email finds you well.

My name is Rodney Austin and I was a dear friend of our mutual departed, Zach Darcy. He spoke quite fondly of you before his passing.

I was getting in touch per your websites mention of the Pac Master 4 source code. I was hoping to receive a copy so as to continue Zach's work.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Kind regards,

Rodney Austin

Hello Rodney,

I hope this email finds you well.

Thanks so much for getting in touch. I'd be happy to pass on the source code. I'll have to dig through my PC for it but it shouldn't take long once I get a chance. I'll be in touch with it soon.

I have to say that I'm surprised to receive your email. Towards the end Zach and I weren't on the best of terms and he was quite isolated. I take it you knew him then?

Warm regards,

Alex

Hello Alex,

Thank you. I appreciate it.

Zach and I were close towards his end, yes.

Regards,

Rodney.

Source code is attached. Thanks for your patience.

If you don't mind my asking, do you have any other reflections from him at that time?

Thank you again for the source code. Having reviewed it, I'm confident that Zach would not approve of it or his other Pac Master games continuing to be shared.

Please cease their distribution.

Is there something specific that makes you say that?

Just don't share them around. Okay?

I'm sorry Rodney, but I won't stop sharing the games and source code with those who ask for them. I never completely understood Zach, but one thing he was was a big believer in distributing his work as widely as possible.

I'm sure your reservations are well founded, but I promise you this is what he would have wanted.

Alex.

Well it's not up to him anymore. Those of us who are still here are affected by this.

I think you'll find it easier for everyone if you just do as you're told.

I won't be bullied into submission. If you can't tell me why you want it taken down, I won't be taking it down.

Please don't contact me further.

You have no idea what a mistake you've just made.

The address on your website. That yours?

Hope you kept the warranty, friend.
