I'm not certain what has happened since - BYU may have taken it back onto themselves. I'll check if you like. Just to make sure no one gets confused here, but the BYU 2.whatever code is still freely copyable. It's the BYU 3.0 code that was licensed to Atlantix. Kelly McDonald has permission from Atlantix to sell it separately. I don't know what the difference between 2.? and 3.0 is, nor why anyone would want 3.0, since I've never heard of anyone having problems with the 2.?. Actually I had one person blame 2.? for long timeouts after unplugging from the network. I don't know he's right, or if he is, if 3.0 fixes that. -- --russ (nelson@clutx [.bitnet | .clarkson.edu]) FAX 315-268-7600 It's better to get mugged than to live a life of fear -- Freeman Dyson I joined the League for Programming Freedom, and I hope you'll join too.
