If you think I am telling the truth, and I am, any lawyers out there
willing to take up my case?

Do you even have a case? Did the contest rules say anything about
copyright? e.g. that you retained it, or that they were free to do
whatever they wanted with entries? It wouldn't surprise me if it had
wording indicating the latter.

This is a good point, didn't see anything about copyright at any time,
nor notified as of what you said about rules.

Personally, I have never seen a rule that says you give up your copyright
to software ever. If you do, the supreme court will not rule in your favor.

Btw, I posted a word doc with scans from the actual communication with Ashton-Tate,
along with some real evidence of truth of my claims. Posted in the outer level.

Thanks,
