The answer is in the subject line. My two reasons are:

1. Someone told me that someone from the producers staff said
   that he never knew that the Modula-2 system is in the public
   domain. Well, that could be true: In the copyright file on
   the system disk it is stated that copies of the system may
   be made and passed to others for non-commercial use only.
   The producer keeps all rights. This is of course not the
   same as "public domain". I shall try to find out what is
   really ment and whether I am allowed to distribute it or not.

2. The second reason is a technical one: The Modula-2 system
   consists of several folders containing folders and so on. If
   they weren't so numerous I could make an .arc file containing
   .arc files etc. out of it. But so it won't be any pleasure.

   --> comp.binaries.atari.st.

   Once I (and you) have it (and the above mentioned problem is
   clear) I will pack the whole stuff into one .zoo file and
   send it to Steven Grimm.  Hopefully he will accept that
   format.
