Be advised that this is not a "cracker" or pirate bulletin >board, but rather an Apple II information newsgroup. 1) I agree 2) Present or potential pirates might take note of the number of developers who contribute to (and presumably read) comp.sys.apple. If we want to continue to benefit from their presence, let's not insult them. 3) Because the newsgroup originates on, and makes extensive use of, federal government sponsored networks, a cavalier attitude toward copywrite (or any other law) could result in termination of the group. In short, lets take care not to mess up a good thing. --------------------- ARPA: sewall%uconnvm.bitnet@cunyvm.cuny.edu Murphy A. Sewall BITNET: SEWALL@UCONNVM School of Business Admin.
