True they own the copywrite, but in the docs (for the II+/e/c version)
it says that permission is granted to upload to other BBS's on the condition
that it's not done for commercial purposes, so shall I try sending it to
Apple 2-L?  What kind of format is used?  Executioner?  BinaryII?  If
someone hasn't already uploaded it, I'll be willing to try.  (BTW, the
apple binaries news group just got marked as a bogus newsgroup at our site
and we no longer receive it)

(I also have SHRCONVERT for the GS which is very nice for GS owners, I'll
have to check the distibution policy on it.  If I remember right, the
version I got from CIS, version 2.0, is shareware.  Well worth the price,
since in addition to GIF it does RLE, Mac, Atari ST, standard and
double hi-res conversion to GS super-hi-res formats.)
