It is part of the Software Supplement to Inside Macintosh, which costs $100 and can be ordered from some distribution company (sorry, I don't remember their address). The Software Supplement consists of a number of Lisa disks, a few Mac disks, updates to these disks, and (if you also bought a copy of "Inside Mac") updates to Inside Mac & a copy of the final Inside Mac when it comes out. Apple has given permission for SOME of the Supplement programs to be uploaded to Compuserve, user group libraries, etc. However, you shouldn't assume that a random Supplement program (such as the new Imagewriter driver) is shareable unless Apple says so. To find out which programs are shareable, log onto the Compuserve network, GO PCS-51, go to DL #5, and BROwse through the directory looking for files that have been uploaded by the sysops and have descriptions saying they were uploaded with Apple's permission. -- Thomas Newton Thomas.Newton@cmu-cs-spice.ARPA
