Subject: Please forward this article to ARPANET

Well folks, here we go again ... I apologize to anyone who has
already seen this, but I really would like to get an answer.  If
anyone at all on ARPANET reads this message, could you please get in
touch with me so that I know that it got there?  I'm not sure that
my earlier attempts have succeeded.


HELLO ARPA-FOLKS, CAN YOU HEAR THIS????

Those of us who are non-ARPA have been hearing a lot about all the
CP/M goodies that are treasured up at MIT-MC.  Many pleas for info
have brought no response.  Will someone on ARPANET, or someone who
knows something about ARPANET >>>>PLEASE<<<< answer the following
questions:

	1)  Is it legal for someone on ARPANET to communicate
	    with someone not on ARPANET?

	2)  Is it legal for someone on ARPANET to act as a gateway
	    for sending files from ARPANET to other nets?

	3)  Is there ANYONE, in the entire land of ARPA, who is
	    willing to send some of the files from MIT-MC to
	    someone who will act as a distributor for non-ARPA
	    people?  (Provided, of course, that the answer to
	    numbers 1 and 2 are yes - I'm not asking anyone to
	    do anything illegal or unethical.)

	4)  Is the software at MIT-MC truly public-domain, or is
	    is it only public to those who have ARPA access?

Will someone, anyone at all, who knows the answers to these
questions please respond directly to me at:

	...ihnss!houxf!ziegler

as soon as possible?  I will collect the answers and send them out
for the benefit of others who would like to know.  Previous
requests for info have fallen on deaf ears (screens?), so I would
appreciate ANY response at all from ANYONE on ARPANET, just to make
sure that this message got there.
