The rules for using our machines are made by other agencies and are much less tolerant than those at universities. If the wrong person gets wind that illegal acts are being advocated over a government owned network and government owned hosts, they very likely would shut down info-apple, at least from this host and on the Milnet. Sorry, but that's the way it is. _Brint Cooper AKA info-apple-request@smoke.brl.mil
