|Subj: SHRINKIT FOR THE GS
| 
|Andy says that ShrinkIt for the GS will be FREEWARE.
| 
|Andy posted a long message on GEnie early this morning which 
|details a dispute between Andy and Kent Dickey (author of the 
|Type-I LZW algorithm) and announces that Andy now intends to
|make ShrinkIt for the GS freeware.
| 
|I don't presume to understand just what is going on here, but I 
|am willing to bet that we have not heard the end of this story.
| 
|I'll also bet there will be no winners here...not Andy, not Kent, 
|not L&L productions, and not the Apple // community.
