I seem to be getting a fair bit of interest in the Software Tools
In Pascal software that I have ported to VM/CMS - six requests
already.  So, I will probably be posting it sometime soon.  It'll 
be in 6 or so pieces.  (~ 300k).

However, someone answering my posting indicated that there may be
a problem with copyright.  Does anybody know for sure whether the
Software Tools in Pascal sources (as shown in the book) are freely
distributable?  I'd rather not call Addison-Wesley to find out, because, 
due to previous experience with them, it is unlikely that I will find 
anybody who really knows either.  If they are not freely distributable,
I may be able to distribute in another way: if you can provide 
proof-of-ownership (somehow - eg: mailing me a signed copy of the
receipt or maybe even clipping out the ISBN number or something -
precise details if necessary later) of the book I should be able to 
mail it out and have intermediate sites forward it to other places to 
avoid too much duplication of transmission.  Presumably ownership
of the book essentially constitutes a source license.  You really 
need to have the book anyhow to port the junk.
