Howdy, Avy!

	Uh, just to clear some things up.  On the standard Unix
distribution tape, there is a directory of *tools* called ctex, which is
not a TeX in C.  If you did get a copy of my code, and suspect that you
didn't pay for it, just call me, don't destroy it.  You might have paid
for it (we do license it to some other folks) or, if not, the terms are
quite reasonable.  I can be reached at (415) 326-5312.

	Avy, I've managed to misplace your number, so you might give me
a call.  Believe me, I'm much more interested in getting people to use
the code than I am in making money off it, but putting a piece of 
software in the public domain is one of the best ways to kill it off.

	Anyway, keep on hacking; I haven't had much of a chance to
post to this group, as I tend to be an Amiga person, but happy hacking
anyway!  It's great what people can do with these microcomputers, ain't
it?
