As quoted from <1325@mtune.ATT.COM> by jhc@mtune.ATT.COM (Jonathan Clark):

| There are a (large) number of programs on THE STORE! which are only
| accessible to AT&T types, of which my HDB uucp port is one. AT&T sells
| this package through the AT&T Toolchest, the phone number of which I
| have forgotten (after all, *I* never use it), and they got peeved at
| the thought of giving this package away. Someday, perhaps.
+---------------

I didn't see a 3B1 binary listed for HDB the last time I called the Toolchest,
and I'm not interested in sources (even if they *are* cleaner than the old
UUCP, which sources I've seen on other systems).  Is it REALLY going to put
a cramp in AT&T's style to distribute a binary-only copy that isn't available
to us peons otherwise except in source form?

Please pass this article to the powers-that-be at AT&T and see what they have
to say.  If they've made 3B1 binaries available on the Toolchest since the
last time I checked, then okay, otherwise they either should do so or should
consider making it available to the general 3B1-using public on the STORE!.
