[ re: Capps ]

I should think that once Symantec (or whoever) decides that it's no longer
worth selling, then there'd be no objection to releasing it to the public
domain.  If need be, they could retain the copyrights to try to keep it as
a purely "instructional" product.

As Amanda said, it's a shame that Capps' is no longer available.  Several
people responded to my question on editor/word-processor data structures with
the statement that I should try to get hold of a copy of Capps', since it
is apparently "done right:" clean and tight and elegant.
