	I do not know how to reply to ARPA nodes so everyone is forced
to read this.  If someone could relay it to him, thanks.  To everyone
else, sorry.

	Ellison stated that the idea of 'The Terminator' came from
two episodes he wrote for 'Outer Limits'.  The episode names elude
me but the plots were: 1) the soldier from the future, Quallo Kaprikni
(sic?), and 2) Bob Culp as a robot from the future with a glass hand
('Demon with a Glass Hand'?).  He therefore sued for copyright
infringement and won.
