Wow, sounds like some pretty dire consequences. At any rate, we have
no such problems at terminator. We're always happy to accept commercial
demos. Send them our way.

N.B.: We accept demos, not the released product. Someone uploaded
      TOS 1.4 to terminator last month. Needless to say, there were
      some at Atari who were not pleased. Luckily, they were cool
      about it. Other companies might demand that we shut down the
      archive. Once again, PLEASE DO NOT UPLOAD COMMERCIAL SOFTWARE
      TO TERMINATOR.

BTW, a lot of changes have been going on behind the scenes at
terminator. I'll post another article to fill ya'll in, soon.
