Stop again!  Before you go swinging, ColorDesk isn't at sumex, nor is
it at rascal, umich, uiuc, or anywhere (so many people have told me.)

I am in the process of determining if ColorDesk is indeed shareware or
not.  I seem to recall it coming in with a few other files which did
wholly unspectacular things, prompting me to show them the lower-right corner
of my desktop.

Therefore, if anyone is in for a chase for a "mega-cool" file, look thru the
archives for, I believe, "Screen Gems"  or something to that effect.  I
can't recall where I got it, but most of my stuff comes from the net, so
it should be there, but it's not called ColorDesk in the file listing.

I will not mail anyone ColorDesk until I am sure it's free/shareware.  If
anyone has information about it, please mail/post it.  If it's commercial, 
I want to know where to buy it.

It's published my MicroSeeds Publishing, so anyone with time and/or interest
can contact them. 

Sorry to raise a fuss, but I was just trying to help.

			Nate.
