Wasn't a big stink raised here about a year and a half ago when Beagle
Bros (_not_ "Beagle Brothers") first made their older stuff available
on Pro-Beagle?

1) It's not PD.  It's freeware.  PD != Freeware.
2) It can't be posted to comp.binaries or uploaded to an FTP site.
   The only place where you can download it for "free" is directly
   from Pro-Beagle.  (Some of the commercial services, such as GEnie, 
   also have the Beagle Classics.)  Your local Beagle Buddy might have
   these programs available.

(Maybe this should go in the FAQ if it isn't already there.)
