I have a license to redistribute the Comm Toolbox; that ought to cover it.
It was only a token fee; about $50, as I recall.

You should probably get them; you'll want them eventually.  Not that they
are complete or anything :-).

Yep, same id in both.  Different behavior, though.  You'll mangle system
7 popups (at least in standard file) if you include the CommToolbox CDEF
in your App.  [Or so reports one Eudora/system 7 user.]  Of course, if you
leave it out, you're high and dry for non-CTB system 6.

I guess you'd be better off using a different id; I'm still mulling the
issue for Eudora.  (Which can use, but does not require, the CTB, but does
use the popup CDEF.)

Will the System7 CDEF 63 ever make it into System 6?  It would be nice.
(No, wait, what am I saying?  Some Microsoft product would probably break...)
