I can not offer a quote at this instant, but the SysOps of the Atari newsgroups have repeatedly stated the restrictions over the years. If it is hearsay, it is at least consistent hearsay. The easiest way to satisfy your curiousity might be to G ATARI and ask. The next easiest way might be to ask Customer Service. This issue has surfaced from time to time in relationship to magazine stuff. Specifically, there is one Atari-related magazine that allowed you to freely pass along their published code. CI$ would not let it pass through. _john -- John T.
