Finding the author's address is easier than you think..... The newest issue of .info magazine has an article comparing PixelScript and Post 1.5. At the end it gives the address for the author of Post 1.5: Adrian Aylward 20 Maidstone Road Swindon, Wiltshire, UK Sorry, no e-mail address or phone number was listed.
