Why would I want the HDB uucp system?  Just a reasonably clean version or
does it offer many other niceities?  Break any old stuff? How can I get a 
copy?

Thanks in advance,

For that matter, what is the procedure for obtaining any piece of previously
posted software on the net?  I too would be interested in receiving HDB but
I never knew who to contact.  To be honest, I'm not even SURE that HDB is
public domain.  Is their an established procedure for obtaining old postings?

While I'm here I'll also cast my vote for a net.sources.d becase that's where
this really belongs.  Sorry for the trouble.

Well, Peter Honeyman can answer this one, I presume.

Talk to your AT&T salesperson, or call 1-800-FOR-UNIX or whatever the magic
number is.

See above.

I'm absolutely 100% sure it isn't.  It's an AT&T product and is chock full
of licensed code.  Not every piece of software mentioned on USENET is public
domain...

HoneyDanber isn't in the public domain. Contact your local AT&T IS sales-
person. I am sure they would be very happy to accept your money. It is
amazing to me someone has'nt already followed up on the request floating
around the net.

I am pretty sure that HDB is NOT public domain and does cost a bit of $$.
Unfortunately, we don't have a net.sources archive, although a mod.sources
archive does exist.
