To all the people who pull binaries off of comp.binaries.ibm.pc:

It has been brought to my attention that my trademarking of uucat
was wrong.  A Mr. Stefen Parmark had already written an utility
by this name that apparently has the same functionality.

At the time I wrote my utility, I was unaware of Mr. Parmark's
program.  All the code I wrote is original, but I guess the concept
was already being used.  I must admitt that I was aware of the 
UNIX(tm) program uunconc, but I did not utilize any of it's code
in my program.

I had just put together DDJ's GNU C, for DOS, manually, and found
an error related to constructing it.  Everyone should understand
why I didn't want to go through the process of editing 36 files
again.  So, I wrote uucat for myself.  It was desgined specifically
to handle files uuencoded for c.b.i.p.

Anyway, I appologize to Stefan Parmark if I have caused any 
inconvience.  I also retract the trademarking of the name
uucat for my utility, but I am keeping all of my rights as
explained in my documentation of my code.
