Lines: 16 Read the documentation for the latest version of ZOO and note that it is *not* public domain. There is also a redistribution restriction which prevents it from being universally available. The new archiving method will be a group effort, not just Phil Katz, of well-known shareware and PD authors who are all tired of being in jeopardy of being sued by SEA. The next time around it will be TOTALLY PUBLIC DOMAIN (that's a shout, folks!). Have I got your attention? This has nothing to do with court cases. It has to do with public domain. -- Keith Petersen Arpa: W8SDZ@SIMTEL20.ARMY.MIL Uucp: {att,decwrl,harvard,lll-crg,ucbvax,uw-beaver}!simtel20.army.mil!w8sdz GEnie: W8SDZ
