[Gag, retch - no Emacs on ultrix 2.0 (yet).]

Today I found some propoganda from "Software Digest" in my snail-mail box.

This group wants to sell me a "subscription" to a PD/Shareware distribution,
one disk per month, $4.95/disk + $1/disk shipping & handling. The list of
software looks awfully familiar (as in, I thought I saw it on a Fish disk,
I did, I did see it on a Fish disk).

I find it hard to believe that they aren't making money off of this (since
much of the PA software is copywritten, with no distribution for bucks) and
yet are able to advertise by direct mail.

Their adddress is: MIT Branch P.O. Box 315, Cambridge, MA 02139.
Anyone know if they are legit?

	Thanx,
