Posting this information violates the CompuServe copyright.  CompuServe
has explicitly reserved copyright to all information that you acquire 
on their system.  In their current user agreements you are specifically
enjoined from copying or retransmitting that information.

They took this aggressive stand after users and sysops from competing
services would "raid" the CompuServe SIG data libraries and make the
files available on their systems.

That doesn't mean I like it.

And I can't decide what to do if I download something from CompuServe
that states "Permission granted for distribution without profit ..."
etc.  CompuServe may not be the best place to distribute shareware.
