	I've been kinda politely informed that my notion of passing
around PC UNIX tools could get me into trouble. In fact, I had quite
an interesting discussion with some people, and have concluded that
all bets are *off*. I don't need the kind of hassles I have found I
could be presented with. I apologise to any of you who's time I have
wasted. I encourage you to pursue your own public domain software, but
I regret that I cannot take the risks I was preparing to. I had not
realized how legalistic parts of the computing community have become.

thanks, and sorry.
