	I can indeed elaborate as to why they are on GEnie...For the same
reason they are on America Online - both of these services have licensing
agreements with Apple for redistribution.  BELIEVE ME, I checked with our
licensing person at Apple before uploading, and she said that our agreement
covered it.  (When I use the possesive, I refer to GEnie as I am a sysop on
GEnie)

	Correct!  Development stuff is not covered by the agreement as far
as I am aware.
