When I first heard that the upgrade was available on 'a' BBS, I thought it was free myself! But I found out that the upgrade is _ONLY_ available from the Central Point BBS in Oregon (I believe). To download the entire upgrade at 2400 baud takes aproximately 90 mins. Does this still sound "FREE" to you??? Not me. But some people don't mind grabbing it themselves and not having to wait for it to be shipped. Geez, not all of us honest people have original disks to all commercial software/upgrades! There are other ways to pay and obtain it! -- | Tom Bellucco | moscom!tmb@cs.rochester.edu /Those are my | | \That's me! | {...}!rochester!moscom!tmb \addresses! | | "Whatever I said, I didn't mean it...unless, of course, you liked it! | | #include |
