]Excuse me if I am confused, but when I purchased the "1.3 Enhancer Kit", I
]got 1.3 flat, not 1.3.2.  The latter was an incremental patch of some sort
]distributed as freeware by someone from Commodore.  I believe this patch did
]contain a copyright notice specifying permission to redistribute, under very
]reasonable conditions.  Certainly one is required to *buy* 1.3 before the
]1.3.2 patch can be applied; I don't think the original poster meant to imply
]otherwise.

I got my copy off a local BBS.  The following is the relevant portions
of the file named LICENCE, which was included with the archive:

Unfortunately, this seems to imply that I can't pass it along.  (Which makes
no sense at all to me.)  I'd put it on an ftp site, except that it seems
like it would be a violation of "YOU ... AGREE NOT TO ... DISTRIBUTE THE
SOFTWARE, OR ANY COPY, IN WHOLE OR IN PART."  I have no intention of violating
this agreement, so anyone who needs this, I suggest you call/mail/or whatever
Commodore about getting yourself a copy.  You might also try your local dealer.

about countries in groups Q, S, W, Z, and Y]
