Ahemmmm.  What's the deal!
 
1) About Atari1.  How do YOU know that they didn't create their own
version of TOS??  Hmmmm... About 4 years ago all the IBM CLONES came out
and they legally were allowed to be sold!  What about the C64 emulator?
He said that the ROMS were not allowed to be sent, so he included a ROM
copying program for those that owned one. <the c64 pakage that I got HAD
the ROMS with it!>
 
2) Maybe NoiseTracker can be taken off but NOT MED and IntuiTracker.
They were written for PD distribution.  True they have the look and
feel, but then so does amiga's workbench and mouse WITH a Mac system.
If MED and IntuiTracker were COPIED source code an all then they should
be taken off, otherwise they should stay <like they are!>
 
I don't see anyone filing any lawsuits on computer companies that use TV
monitor technology.  A long time ago, a computer company came up with
the idea of using a monitor instead of CARDS.....hmmm....every computer
company today would have to be taken off the shelves if they are going
by the books.
 
3) John Radigan released JRCOMM1.00 AND 1.01 to the public so they can
stay up.  By the way the zmodem has a heinous bug, it'll be likely he'll
be realing MORE to the public....
