Heck, I don't know if UToronto still distributes > this software. It is with a very heavy heart that I must tell you that this is no longer available. I called them immediately, and Ms. Ella Lund-Thomsen doesn't work there anymore. The fellow I did reach seemed somewhat knowledgeable of the situation, and said that they dropped support over two years ago, and no-longer even have a copy themselves to give away. I could just about cry. I've had one too many disappointments chasing this rabbit trail. I WANT SOME NEWER SOFTWARE. Get BSD, I thought. It'll be around for ever. Yeah, sort of -- just that no-one will see a port for my CPU to me! Ah, well, maybe 4.9 [sic] will be public domain... -- John Lind, Starfire Consulting Services E-mail: john@starfire.MN.ORG USnail: PO Box 13001, Mpls MN 55414
