I think we need to support NeXT developers by refusing to send someone a
commercial application just because they *say* they have purchased it.  I
suggest that those of us who are FD-less but OD-ful cooperate with one another
by providing copies of software on OD for those who have purchased the same
software on floppies.  I would be willing to provide a copy of Improv to Brett
if he sends me an OD with return shipping prepaid and proof of purchase of
Improv.
