Since Tad is worried about copyright infrindgement (as he well should be), this archive should be removed, because it is violating Commodore's distribution status on it's DOS files. Also, the archive contains 3 duplications of the main file! One is exactly the same, and another is a .ARC of the file. This is redundant and is wasting space, and wastes net bandwidth when FTPing. If the necessary files (about 3 or 4 of em) were re-lzh'd the archive should be short, i.e. 150k rather than 400+k. And this would remove the files that everyone has anyway in their system disk. --
