It is probably true that this is the original reason, but it's in no way
relevant for the ongoing discussion.
BTW.:
a) ASH has such a big position in the Atari market due to the lack of
competitors. So tell me why there are not any canadian Atari software
vendors ? Only if you can find a good reason, you may complain about
a german vendor having the largest share.
b) on other fields but Atari pretty often US based vendors have the
dominant position, and refuse to translate their software to german.
And, believe it or not, there are lots of people in Germany who cannot
understand more than a handful of english words.

For them, it's simply not worth the effort.

I should say here that I'm not a friend of ASH either, ATM I'm fighting
their arrogance to attempt to establish a one-line-per-paragraph format
("endless" lines) on Usenet and e-mail (the "ASH-Emailer").
