Is this kind of piracy any better than stealing copies of CP/M, even though it's done with permission from the author? I feel that any distribution should be done through non-profit organizations. My other complaint was that this *was* a profit-making organization, and advertisements as such shouldn't be announced via INFO-CPM. Pournelle may get away with this with BYTE, but I really don't want to see it here. -roger
