It will have to be redone for 2.0 AmigaOS. Fred, I propose something different. I think you should license the includes and offer them to anyone who orders directly from you disks like FF314. The licensing fee is small, and the requirements aren't that strict (It must be on disk and be supplied with your software/hardware product, and a count must be submitted to CBM of how many you have distributed.) Of course, some people would never consider ordering directly from # Fred Fish, 1835 E. Belmont Drive, Tempe, AZ 85284, USA and that is their loss, but availability from such a known source would go along way, as too many people distrust ordering from CATS themselves. I already redistribute them for my local usergroup, with appropriate labels and license agreement, etc. I think you could do the same on a larger scale. -Ed Berger eberger@b.psc.edu eb15@andrew.cmu.edu
