Unfortunately, Mass Mac and Electric appears to have passed on, as well. (It hasn't answered the phone in about a month.) Someone to whom I sent it said he would forward it to sumex, but I don't know if he ever did. I haven't checked, but I'd count it as more than likely that the Boston Computer Society has it in their Mac software collection.
