o.k., people.  I've been replying to individual flames as they've been
sent to me (Jens, you could have posted a response to me personally
suggesting a clarification), but I guess this kind of message means I
should correct the ad.

The Gnu C and Tex diskettes were purchased from a shareware company
called Current Notes.  They sold the diskettes for $3/disk (Gnu was 2
disks and Tex was 3).  They pre-test their disks to make sure they are
installable and usable..  And yes, I am just selling the media (with
the original labels from Current Notes) and software which does run on
a 1040ST.  Is this clear enough??
