One note:  Do NOT under any circumstance upload it to Compu$pend - I have heard
that they have this weird idea that they hold the copywrite on ALL material
that comes from their system, including things which users have uploaded!  I
have heard that they have hassled some BBS's which were carring programs that
a user would download from CI$ & then upload to the BBS in question.  If you
want to avoid the hassle, avoid using Compu$pend.
