(BTW, the program is called SUPER CONDUCTOR) Super Conductor was a commercial program from Michtron, and is -not- in the public domain. I would say that none of the programs you might find on a STart disk are public domain, with the exception of ST Writer. You will have to purchase the disk from Antic (or your local magazine salesperson) in order to legally use the programs on the STart disk.
