It also is bundled in with TML Pascal, and MegaMax C; I'm sure most other compiler manufacturers license it also. The typical license allows personal use but no commercial redistribution; thus, you should be able to copy it without worrying about legal hassles from Apple. (I.e., they seem to encourage as much copying of this and some other developer's tools as they can afford to without actually losing the copyright to them.) Big catch: "Macintalk must be in the same folder as your application." It looks like a system file. Put it in the system folder and your application will not talk. Some will warn you that "Macintalk" could not be found; others will simply crash. Put it in the application's folder. -- "I'll do it -- I've got the GUTS. I'm the PRESIDENT."
