[From moderator: The Sidhu mentioned in this article is the Apple person in
charge of licensing agreements for AppleTalk programs. AppleTalk Peek
and Poke are utilities that let one observe activity on an AppleTalk network.
Given the utility of these programs, I don't see why Apple wants to restrict
their distribution. I too recommend that you contact Sidhu and urge him to
make AppleTalk Peek and Poke available to all (preferably in source form).]
Thanks to Kinetics for providing this service. Kinetics might want you to
include a disk mailer as well as postage. (A Stamped, Self-Addressed mailer)

Kinetics will send out a MAC/IP disk to anyone asking us for one
for a distribution charge of $10. Send us a disk and return postage
and we will do it for free. The required atpl resource is contained
in the system file on that disk.
Tim Maroney gave us his latest greatest version of the MAC/IP programs
yesterday. After we check them out a bit, we will post them for the
net unless he or someone else objects. Presumably, some bugs fixed.
The Prompt program that is distributed with our gateways also contains
the infamous atpl resource.
We are licensed to distribute both the AppleTalk drivers and the Finder/
System disks that we send out. There are no per-copy royalties, per se.
The system file on these disks contains the latest approved AppleTalk
drivers from Apple. We have been denied licensing for the useful
AppleTalk tools, Peek and Poke, hence we can not distribute them.
Complaints to Sidhu.
Meanwhile, Rand, Dartmouth, Adobe and UCLA all seem to be up using MacIP,
and some of them, EFS even. In case I hadn't made it clear before, we will
send out a mac disk with the modified SEAGATE sources, like the shar file
on diablo, for $10 also. It is now okay to post the shar file to the net.
