   Personal Editor II was written back in 1984 and marketed by IBM in 1985
   as a text processor. It has since been taken off their market list and
   that was it for PE2. As far as I can tell, since IBM "owns" the program,
   there hasn't been, nor will there be, any more updates to this
   outstanding, yet under-recognized, piece of software.

   Now, as for my questions, perhaps someone else can help:

   Is it good to announce that you have or know someone who has a "bootleg"
   copy of a program? Can someone now be sued for acknowledging the
   ownership of a "bootleg" copy? Any other information on this type of
   "misunderstanding" :-) could be very helpful. I wouldn't want anyone to
   get into any trouble from this type of statement.
