On my last crusade throught the /f/uploads directory of 
grape.ecs.clarkson.edu, I noticed THEXDER.ZIP.  Curious
as I was, I thought I'd see what it was.  Sure enough
it was THEXDER by Sierra On-Line.  Now I had the impres-
sion that THEXDER was not PD or SHAREWARE, so what in
MPU's name is that doing there?

What is the general policy of commercial software in BBS's?
